Does the name of a victim in a civil proceeding need to be made public?

Further, as Justice Cory explained in Edmonton Journal v. Alberta (Attorney General), 1989 CanLII 20 (SCC), [1989] 2 S.C.R. 1326 at para. 85, citizens cannot regularly attend trials and so depend upon the media for information. In my opinion, most citizens would have minimal interest in the name of a victim, such as in Bragg, who is asserting rights in a civil proceeding. In that context I agree that characterizing the identity of a party as a “sliver of information” and a minimal impairment of the open court principle is appropriate. In contrast, however, I believe most citizens would be extremely interested in learning the names of adults convicted of criminal offences and particularly homicides. In my view denying members of the public access to the names of adult offenders is a significant deleterious consequence.
