Minister of Public Services and Procurement and Accessibility

As a point of clarification, the DPA is a Criminal Code tool. It's not part of the integrity regime.

I'm happy to answer, although it will not be satisfactory to you because I will say that the decision of whether or not to proceed with a DPA is definitely within the purview of an independent public prosecutor.

Whether or not that regime is discussed at cabinet I believe would be covered by cabinet confidence.
