Sustainable Development
| The Department of Justice strives to ensure that Canada has an accessible, fair and effective system of justice that reflects Canadian values, through the development and management of policies and programs aligned with sustainable development (SD) principles and practices. Justice also supports the Government with effective and responsible legal advice and services that consider SD principles, where appropriate. |
As part of its mandate, Department of Justice provides critical legal services to support client departments in implementing Government priorities including the components of the first cycle of the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS), notably policy and program development, the preparation of legislative and regulatory instruments, and support on regulatory enforcement.
Justice's Departmental Decision Making and SD Practices:
- SD Governance and Implementation
- Activities and Commitments
Related to Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA)
- Departmental SD Activities/initiatives Not Captured in the FSDS
The Government of Canada is looking for input from Canadians on the draft second cycle of the FSDS, covering the period 2013 to 2016. Canadians are encouraged to submit comments before June 14, 2013 on the advancement of federal sustainable development initiatives by visiting Environment Canada’s website: http://www.ec.gc.ca/dd-sd/.
