I think what was missed by the author about Ms. McLachlin's comments - and what should be understood from the results of the Ghomeshi trial - are that those who are victims of a sexual assault have to know what to do afterwards if they want a conviction.  These complainants may not like what they have to do, but the justice system cannot convict someone without the complainant's assistance from the start.  Instead of discrediting Ghomeshi's lawyer, Marie Heinen should be a key note speaker for women to let them know what's expected.  

Ms. McLachlin simply stated the obvious - if you want reform, either change the law and the constitution or help the victims with enough real and meaningful information so that they can do what they need to do to help the police and the justice system.
