Summary
"The CACP would like to focus these final submissions on two key points: the changing nature of crime and the necessity to consider legal changes at all levels, the fact that before every mega-trial there is a mega-investigation. In order to implement and give effect to these points, the CACP submits that the Commission consider making the following recommendations: the creation of a Centre or Institute to systematically study megatrials, mega-investigations, and related aspects of the criminal justice system; enhancement of the pre-trial relationship between the Crown and police; increased security surrounding all aspects of mega-trials and investigations, but especially as it relates to witnesses; legal reforms in the area of disclosure; enhanced case management during mega-trials; legislation in the area of lawful access."--page 5.
