Are you saying that in every case where a Canadian statute refers to either the consent or approval or collaboration with the Attorney General of Canada in a prosecution or a criminal procedure, all of that authority has been delegated to the Director of Public Prosecutions under this new statute? I'm concerned.
I just want to make a sidebar reference to a real-case scenario in the Criminal Code. We now have these security procedures, under the Anti-terrorism Act, that require the consent of the Attorney General. Are you telling me Parliament's wish that the Attorney General--it could be an attorney general of a province--explicitly requires the consent of the politically elected Attorney General is now being interpreted as being delegated to a public servant? I'm getting the impression that's how you've interpreted this statute.
