Footnotes

1 The PPSC was created on December 12, 2006 with the coming into force of the Director of Public Prosecutions Act. Its applied title is the Public Prosecution Service of Canada whereas its legal title is the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.

2 The role of Crown Witness Coordinators is to explain the criminal justice process to victims and witnesses, prepare them to testify in court and, where required, bridge the cultural gap between prosecutors, who are generally from southern Canada, and victims and witnesses from the North.

3 Type is defined as follows: previously committed to—committed to in the first or second fiscal year prior to the subject year of the report; ongoing—committed to at least three fiscal years prior to the subject year of the report; and new—newly committed to in the reporting year of the RPP or DPR.

4 The pie chart indicates percentage of files by offence type, based on the total number of files handled in 2011-12 as of February 29, 2012, and not including estimates to year-end. Individual litigation files often include multiple offences falling under more than one offence type. As a result, files may be counted more than once.

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. A case is also considered to be decided on its merits 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 Federal Prosecution Service (FPS) Deskbook is a policy manual governing all PPSC staff prosecutors and legal agents.
