In cases such as these, we, as the prosecutors, make the final decision. We can consult lawyers who are experts in aboriginal matters. Such cases often involve lawsuits with damages and civil litigation that often raise the very same aboriginal rights issues that are raised in criminal prosecution.
In such cases, we can consult, but in the final analysis, according to the procedural guide that the Attorney General has asked us to follow, it is clearly stipulated that the prosecutors are the ones responsible for deciding to conduct a prosecution.
