Strategic Outcomes

The Department of Justice Canada has two strategic outcomes:

• A fair, relevant and accessible Canadian justice system
• A federal government that is supported by high quality legal services

The Department of Justice Canada contributes to the achievement of these strategic outcomes:

• by working with partners across the federal, provincial and territorial levels of governments and with stakeholders across Canada to develop and maintain a fair, relevant and accessible justice system that responds to Canadians' needs and expectations;
• by ensuring a bilingual and bijural national legal framework for the administration of justice by developing policies, laws and programs to strengthen the national framework within the following domains: Aboriginal justice, criminal justice (including youth criminal justice), family justice, access to justice and international public and private law;
• by providing significant ongoing funding to provinces and territories for the delivery of programs aimed at the day to day administration of justice, including legal aid, youth justice services and Aboriginal Courtworkers; and
• by providing legal services to the federal government and its departments and agencies, as legislated by the Department of Justice Act.
