The provincial Crown Attorney system is in charge of prosecuting most criminal cases in Canada.

Every province other than Quebec, British Columbia and Nova Scotia has Crown Attorney Office in charge of criminal cases at provincial level. They are spread out across the province by municipal districts (county, regional municiaplity, etc...). Larger centres like Toronto have several Crown Attorney Offices. They all report back to the provincial Attorney General.

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