In Yukon, disclosure in Criminal Code and other federal prosecutions is managed by the Yukon Regional Office of the Public Prosecution Service of Canada. Police provide investigative material to federal Crown prosecutors, who review it and provide relevant disclosure to the accused or defence counsel. Territorial offences prosecuted by the Government of Yukon follow the territorial prosecution process.

Under R. v. Stinchcombe, prosecutors must disclose relevant information within the prosecution’s possession or control, whether it supports the prosecution or assists the defence, except privileged or legally protected material. This obligation continues throughout the prosecution. Under R. v. McNeil, police must notify prosecutors of serious misconduct involving officers where it relates to the investigation or could affect credibility or reliability. Prosecutors decide what must be disclosed; the defence is not automatically entitled to an officer’s complete employment or disciplinary history.

Disclosure is ordinarily requested from the prosecution office handling the charge rather than directly from the RCMP or another investigating agency. The applicable process depends on whether the charge arises under federal or Yukon legislation.
