The Minister of Justice and the Attorney General being one and the same person, in my experience, has never affected prosecutorial independence. I've had the pleasure of dealing with a number of attorneys general since we were created, and I have never found that there has been an issue with respect to the manner in which they approach the attorney general function. All of them have been scrupulous in the way they approach it.
