Acknowledgements

The author would like to thank the Department of Justice Canada and the project team for its guidance and support throughout this project. Thanks goes as well to the Researcher in the Research and Statistics Division at the Department of Justice Canada who conducted an interview in French with the representative from Québec on my behalf. As well, thanks are extended to the many provincial and territorial program representatives who participated in interviews and provided comments on drafts. This work would not have been possible without your contributions of time and knowledge.
