This article offers a review of the changes that have occured in Canadian rape law since 1975 and of their impact on an implications for Canadian women. These modifications relate to evidence, procedure and substance. The requirement of corroboration has been repealed; new guidelines have been issued for questioning the complaintant about her sexual history; and rape has been redefined as sexual assault of cvarying degrees. This paper argues that experience since 1975 with these matters and with the related issue of the victim's consent has been disappointing: bad drafting and judicial frustration of legislative intent have impeded any meaningful change.
