What guides the work of the Public Prosecution Service of Canada (PPSC)?

At the PPSC, our organizational priorities are the foundation of our decisions, our actions, and our culture.

Our priorities are:
• Taking action to address discrimination and systemic racism in the criminal justice system.
• Building a resilient, inclusive workplace grounded in trust and engagement, anti-racism, and reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples.
• Modernizing the way we work.
• Enhancing prosecutorial effectiveness in a complex and constantly evolving legal landscape.

These priorities reflect our commitment to promoting an equitable justice system and a respectful workplace, and to being a forward-looking organization.

June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada, a time to honour the histories, cultures, traditions, achievements, and resilience of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples.

For the PPSC, this month also reminds us that Indigenous history is connected to justice today, including reconciliation, overrepresentation in the criminal justice system, violence against Indigenous Peoples, and the need to support Indigenous employees and communities. Our prosecutors must consider how trauma, poverty, colonial displacement, child welfare involvement, substance use rooted in trauma, mental health, community safety, and realistic rehabilitative options may affect prosecution decisions.

How does our work contribute to a just and safe Canada?

We are guided by strong values at the Public Prosecution Service of Canada. Today, we are highlighting trust.

What does trust mean to us?

It means that we work to earn the trust of our colleagues and the communities we serve. We are accountable for what we say and do.

How do we apply this value in practice?

We apply trust in our relations with investigative agencies. We cultivate trust when we give them accurate and reliable advice, when we listen to their needs and respect their work objectives and their competence in providing the evidence our prosecutors need to conduct prosecutions in an objective, independent and dispassionate manner.

To find out more about what we do, check out our Annual Report 2024-2025 https://www.ppsc-sppc.gc.ca/eng/pub/ar-ra/2024_2025/index.html

The Public Prosecution Service of Canada is inviting applications https://www.ppsc-sppc.gc.ca/eng/aaf-man/04/11.html from private-sector lawyers or law firms with experience in prosecuting or defending criminal matters, to act as Agents of the Director of Public Prosecutions.

Step into a work environment where every day counts. As an Agent for PPSC, you will regularly be in court, working on resolutions and sentencings, arguing contested motions, and running preliminary hearings and trials. By focusing on drug-related prosecutions, you will have the opportunity to work on interesting Charter and evidentiary issues that are important to the administration of justice.

PPSC agents work independently, giving you autonomy in the structure of your workday and office operations while also having the possibility to work on files unrelated to drug prosecution. As an agent you will have the benefit of a dedicated Agent Supervision Unit to support and guide your prosecutorial work.

Ready to make your mark? Apply for a Fixed Term Agreement (contract) that is currently available in Ontario, in the Judicial Districts below:

Manitoulin, including the court locations of Gore Bay and Wikwemikong (Ref: NCRO-2026-04-01)

May 17 is the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia.
At the Public Prosecution Service of Canada, we highlight this day to reaffirm our commitment to a workplace where 2SLGBTQIA+ people feel included, respected and safe.

In addition to the four groups named in the Employment Equity Act, the PPSC now provides the same opportunities to Black and 2SLGBTQIA+ candidates—going beyond what the law requires to achieve equality in the workplace and better reflect and support the people we serve.

We are taking concrete steps to address systemic barriers, strengthen representation, and build a workforce that reflects the diversity of Canada, which is enabled by the leadership of the National Council for 2SLGBTQIA+ Employees.
