The Alberta Crown Attorneys Association is weighing in on comments made by Premier Danielle Smith earlier this week.
On Thursday, Smith indicated she was regularly speaking with Crown prosecutors about how they would handle cases involving those accused of breaking COVID-19 health violations and other COVID-related offences.
It also stated that it is not aware of any case where an elected official attempted to contact a specific Crown prosecutor to inquire about a prosecution. On Tuesday, Danielle Smith compared Alberta's relationship with the federal government to decades of colonialism."Prosecutorial independence is fundamental to the role of Crown prosecutors. It is a central component of an open and fair justice system in a democratic society. As Crown prosecutors, we are duty-bound to apply a two-part standard throughout every prosecution: whether there is a reasonable likelihood of conviction, and whether proceeding is in the public interest.
