Message from the Attorney General of Canada

Canadians can take pride in the many recent accomplishments of the Government of Canada in the fight against crime. Since its creation in 2006, the Public Prosecution Service of Canada (PPSC) has played an important role in prosecuting cases under federal jurisdiction with the highest standards of diligence and fairness.

The PPSC plays a key role in supporting the Government's efforts to ensure the safety and security of our communities. A key player in the Canadian criminal justice system, the PPSC is responsible for the prosecution of Criminal Code offences such as terrorism, organized crime, regulatory offences and capital-market crimes, among others.

In addition to outlining the key program and planning activities for the coming year, this report demonstrates the benefits to Canadians provided by the PPSC. I am confident that the PPSC will continue to demonstrate the leadership and professionalism that has become the hallmark of federal prosecutors in Canada.

The Hon. Rob Nicholson, P.C., M.P., Q.C.
Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
