Yes, the challenge is that the provincial crown attorney is dealing with a series of priorities, the highest priority being acts of violence to the person and the next priority being matters of child pornography and other very, very serious offences. When dealing with commercial crimes, we often find that we are told it will be a year or more before the matter can go very far, simply because of the lack of resources within that office.
It's not that they're not considered to be serious; it's just that from the provincial crown attorney's perspective, these are commercial crimes and are not high priorities.
