The provincial Crown Attorney system is in charge for prosecuting the vast majority of criminal cases in Canada.

In Quebec, the Director of Public Prosecutions or Direction générale des poursuites publiques is responsible for criminal cases.

For federal cases, a senior general counsel (Criminal Law) is assigned from the Federal Prosecution Service or FPS, an office of the Attorney General of Canada. FPS is based in Ottawa, Ontario
