Director General, Forensic Science and Identification Services, Royal Canadian Mounted Police

There are three forensic lab systems within Canada. The RCMP has a lab system with forensic laboratories in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Nova Scotia. We provide DNA services from our Vancouver lab, our Edmonton lab, our Regina lab, the Ottawa lab, and the Halifax lab. In addition, the provinces of Ontario and Quebec have labs from which they provide DNA services as well.

Concerning the division of the work for types of Criminal Code offences, Consulting and Audit Canada has provided a report indicating that the RCMP forensic labs undertake somewhere between 45% and 50% of the Criminal Code work for primary and secondary designated offences, and the rest of the work is split between the other two labs.

Does that answer your question?
