    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I was thinking that this Bill was going to address that imbalance in a criminal matter. I was thinking, for instance, that we could have a provision compelling the defence to provide the prosecution with witness statements. I was thinking of a situation where the lawyer representing a complainant, or victim, will now have the right to do some form of cross examination or give submission. For instance, we have a case where there is an adjournment. You find that when the defence applies for adjournment, the court will only hear the accused person and, maybe, the prosecution, and, maybe, that adjournment is going to inconvenience the victim, or the complainant. So, I am thinking that this Bill should, probably, address issues like this one."
