The short answer is no.
The Director of Public Prosecutions Act provides not only for the independence of the Public Prosecution Service but also for a relationship with the Attorney General. It is possible, pursuant to sections 10 to 13 of our act, for the Attorney General to issue a direction to the Public Prosecution Service of Canada, either generally or case-specific. It must be gazetted. It must be made public so that the public is aware of such a direction.
While there have been general principle directions issued by attorneys general in the past, there has not been a case-specific direction issued to the Public Prosecution Service of Canada.
