¹ The PPSC was created on December 12, 2006, when the Director of Public Prosecutions Act, Part 3 of the Federal Accountability Act came into force. Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions is the organization’s legal title, whereas Public Prosecution Service of Canada is its applied title.

² This represents a total of 823 FTEs (full-time equivalents). A full-time equivalent is equal to the number of hours that a full-time employee would work during one fiscal year. An FTE count represents, therefore, the equivalent of full-time positions rather than an actual count of individual employees.

³ For program activity descriptions, please access the Main Estimates online at: Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions 2010-11 - Main Estimates

⁴ In total, over 250 federal statutes contain offences that fall under the PPSC’s jurisdiction to prosecute. However, the PPSC regularly provides prosecution services under approximately 60 of those statutes.

⁵ A case is decided on its merits when a judge or jury determines the guilt or innocence of an accused person after a trial; where a judge determines after a guilty plea that a conviction is appropriate; or where a Crown prosecutor stays or withdraws a charge as a result of an assessment that the case does not meet the test for prosecution or as result of a plea of guilty being entered to a serious charge rendering proceedings on a less serious charge redundant.

⁶ Cases not decided on merit are those that are stayed or quashed by the Court, and for which, as a result, there is no outcome decided by a judge or jury based on the evidence of guilt or innocence. A judicially imposed stay will generally mean discontinuance or permanent suspension of the proceedings.

⁷ The operational priority for prosecution-related advice provided during investigations is primarily focused on highly complex and mega cases and cases involving a high degree of legal risk.

⁸ The Federal Prosecution Service (FPS) Deskbook is a policy manual governing all PPSC staff prosecutors and legal agents.

⁹ The PPSC is a partner in the following horizontal initiatives, led by the departments indicated in parenthesis: National Anti-Drug Strategy (Justice); Integrated Market Enforcement Teams (Public Safety); and, Federal Tobacco Control Strategy (Health).
