22. The policies developed and the measures implemented by the Minister of Justice concerning the general conduct of criminal and penal proceedings must be aimed particularly at ensuring that the legitimate interests of persons who are victims of criminal offences are taken into account, that witnesses are respected and protected, that criminal and penal prosecuting attorneys are present and assigned throughout the territory of Québec, that certain types of proceedings are processed and that non-judicial approaches or alternatives to prosecution are applied.
The policies and measures are published by the Minister of Justice in the Gazette officielle du Québec and are brought to the Director’s attention.
The Minister of Justice may ask the Director for any information needed to carry out this responsibility.
