You have to put that in context. The legislation attempts to protect or make transparent the principle of prosecutorial independence by putting in safeguards. If the Attorney General wishes to intervene, he has to do so in writing.
In terms of accountability--and this is found, I might say, in the Nova Scotia legislation and the Quebec legislation—this derives from the report of the Marshall commission of inquiry and the works of the late Professor Edwards, who wrote extensively on the role of the Attorney General in law to the crown. The recommendations made at that time, which have been adopted, were that there should be some ultimate accountability to the Attorney General, because there had to be some political accountability. At the same time, they said the vast majority of cases would be conducted by the prosecution service without any involvement of the Attorney General. They thought it necessary in these cases of general importance that the Attorney General be informed.
