The judge may also examine the sworn depositions of witnesses and, for that purpose, the judge has the power to compel them to appear and to testify. The judge must use all necessary means to ensure the confidentiality of the writings, where applicable.
The judge shall authorize the proceedings if he has reasonable grounds to believe that an offence has been committed. The authorization must be entered with the statement of offence and a duplicate of the statement must be transmitted on request by the clerk to the Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions.
