Not specifically, as there is in other jurisdictions. The federal Department of Justice provides the prosecutors, but from within that they provide us with experts or experienced prosecutors in that area. I would say that special prosecutors are needed in terms of the large, complex investigations, just as the police need specialized subject matter experts and well-trained members to carry on those investigations. So to continue that expertise, it should flow into the judicial system as well.
