Planned Audits and Evaluations: Formative evaluation completed in 2005-2006. |
Name of Transfer Payment Program: Aboriginal Justice Strategy | ||||
Start Date: December 1996 | End Date: March 2007 | |||
Description: Aboriginal people continue to be over-represented in the criminal justice system, both as victims and accused. When Aboriginal people come into contact with the justice system as victims or accused, their needs –related to culture, economic positions and social circumstances –must be taken into account to ensure the system is fair, relevant and effective for them. One of the federal governmentÕs key responses to addressing these issues has been the Aboriginal Justice Strategy (AJS), which co-funds diversion, sentencing, and family and civil mediation projects in Aboriginal communities with provinces and territories. In response to recommendations related to justice made by the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, the AJS was established in 1996, and extended in 2002, with a mandate to:
The AJS is managed by the Department of Justice CanadaÕs (DOJ) Aboriginal Justice Directorate (AJD). In collaboration with provincial and territorial counterparts, the AJD pursues the goals of the AJS through community-based justice program funding; training and development and capacity-building funding; and enhancing partnerships. The AJS supports activities in Aboriginal communities on- and off- reserve and in urban settings. |

Name of Transfer Payment Program: Child-centred Family Justice Fund | ||||
Start Date: 08-12-2003 | End Date: 03-31-2008 | |||
Description: The Child-centred Family Justice Fund (CCFJF) is a key component of the Child-centred Family Justice Strategy. While the federal government does not provide direct services to separated and divorced parents since the provinces and territories are responsible for the administration of justice, the Department of Justice is committed to assisting and promoting the development, expansion and maintenance of such services through the CCFJF. |

Description: The Victims of Crime Initiative (VCI) is administered by the Policy Centre for Victim Issues (PCVI). The PCVI provides the "victims lens" for all criminal law reform and criminal justice policy development for which the Department of Justice is responsible and works closely with other federal departments to ensure a consistent approach to victim issues. The Centre has a broad mandate to conduct research, raise awareness about the needs and concerns of victims, develop public information materials, and to consult with victims, victim advocates, criminal justice personnel, service providers, and others involved in the criminal justice system to identify issues of concern and to develop policy and options for law reform. The Centre works closely with provinces and territories that have a key role in providing services for victims and Chairs the Federal-Provincial-Territorial Working Group on Victims of Crime. The PCVI also administers the federal Victims Fund, which has a broad set of objectives that, like all PCVI activities and responsibilities, is intended to improve the experience of victims in the criminal justice system. The Fund can be accessed by victim service providers, non- governmental organizations, provincial and territorial governments, victim advocates and researchers, as well as victims (including CSC registered victims of crime who can access the Parole Fund).1 |

Strategic outcomes: A fair, relevant and accessible justice system that reflects Canadian values. | ||||

Planned Audits and Evaluations: The VCI has a comprehensive evaluation strategy that includes case studies, sub-studies, a mid term evaluation (2008) and a summative evaluation (2010). Previous evaluation reports, from the first mandate (2000-2005) were undertaken in 2002 and 2005. |
1 The Federal Victims Strategy, awaiting Treasury Board approval, will significantly enhance the reach and impact of the Victims of Crime Initiative. It will also alter the end date to 2011.
2 This amount includes the current Victims Fund resources (approximately $ 2M per year 2005-06 to 2009-2010), as well as the amount transferred from Public Safety to DOJ administer the Financial Assistance for Victims to Attend National Parole Board Hearings component of the Fund (approximately $500,000 increasing every year).

6) Description of the Horizontal Initiative: The Youth Justice Initiative (YJI) is aimed at achieving, over time, a fairer and more effective youth justice system through (among other things) promoting proportionate and meaningful accountability measures that foster offender rehabilitation and reintegration. The major focus of 2007-2008 and beyond will be monitoring the impact of the YJI and the Youth Criminal Justice Act as well as reviewing the legislation to assess where amendments are necessary to achieve a more responsive and effective youth justice system. Other key activities will be supporting innovative projects in response to service delivery gaps and problems as well as continuing to support provinces and territories in their delivery of an adequate range of programs and services that encourage accountability measures, rehabilitation and reintegration of offenders and targets the use of the formal court system, detention and custody to the serious offences. A primary focus for 2007-08 will be the implementation of the new long-term financial arrangements with the provinces and territories to sustain the youth justice delivery systems. A new emphasis for the Youth Justice Fund for 2007-08 and on-ward will be responding to the governmentÕs commitment of youth crime prevention by working with youth involved in or at-risk of involvement in guns, gangs and drugs. For more information on the Youth Justice Initiative, visit web site: http://canada.justice.gc.ca/en/ps/yj/yoas3.html. | ||||
7) Shared Outcome(s): A fair and effective youth justice system that targets the most serious interventions for the most serious offences and finds constructive community-based options for less serious offences. The Department will continue to work with provinces and territories, and stakeholders, with a focus on achieving a fairer and more effective youth justice system. The major indicators of success of the Initiative are long-term. A summative evaluation of the Youth Justice Initiative, however, was finalized in 2006-2007. The evaluation concluded that the YJI was successful in achieving the objectives of reducing the over use of youth court, reducing the over use of custody for non-violent offences, and improving the extent to which responses to youth crime are proportionate to the seriousness of the offence. The evaluation concluded that the success of the initiative can be attributed to the multi-pronged approach of the YJI, which consisted of legislation, financial incentives to the provinces, training, the funding of programs and services, and building partnerships with a variety of groups including officials of the youth justice system, NGOs working in the justice area, other NGOs that serve youth and community groups made an important contribution to the achievement of the intended results. | ||||
8) Governance Structure(s): The Department of Justice leads the Youth Justice Initiative. The Youth Justice Policy Section in the Department manages the implementation of the Initiative, with the Programs Branch managing the Youth Justice Services agreements with the provinces and territories. | ||||

(1) The planned spending for 2007-2008 and beyond includes funding earmarked in the fiscal framework for the main Youth Justice Services and IRCS Agreements with the provinces and territories, and yet to be transferred to the departmental budget, following Treasury Board approval.
(2) The Youth Justice Initiative works with officials from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Public Safety, Canadian Heritage, Human Resources and Social Development, Health, Indian Affairs and Northern Development (Northern Strategy) where our interests in youth justice issues meet or are complementary. These federal departments, however, did not receive funding under this Initiative.
Table 8: Sustainable Development Strategy |
The Department of Justice's fourth Sustainable Development Strategy (SDS), covering the period 2007-2009, has been developed by building on accomplishments and challenges from the previous strategies, by responding to the government guidance for a more coordinated and consistent approach to implementing sustainable development in the Government of Canada, and by linking sustainable development efforts in the Department to other key activities under the Department's Program Activity Architecture (PAA).
The Strategy contains three key objectives:
All objectives are aimed at improving the existing capacity and practices in the Department towards achieving sustainable development in its internal operations, as well as in its work with its client organizations, as appropriate.
The first objective supports the Department's second strategic outcome to ensure that "federal government is supported by effective and responsive legal services", by developing capacity for greater integration of sustainable development into the Department's legal services to the Government of Canada, as appropriate.
The second objective supports the achievement of the Department's first strategic outcome to ensure "a fair, relevant and accessible justice system that reflects Canadian values" through the development and implementation of policies, laws, and programs, by integrating more rigorously sustainable development principles and practices into its policies and programs.
The third objective represents a component of the corporate activity of "managing the Department and providing common services", which will be better achieved by enhancing the awareness of staff and by increasing efforts to reduce the Department's impact on our environment, including the implementation of the federal governmentÕs Green Procurement Policy.
