Implementation of section 41 of the Official Languages Act

The Aboriginal Justice Strategy

http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/pi/ajs-sja/

The Aboriginal Justice Strategy (AJS) is composed of three components: community-based justice programs that are cost-shared with provincial and territorial governments, the Aboriginal Justice Learning Network and self-government negotiations in the field of administration of justice. Of these three, only the community-based justice programs provide contribution funding to Aboriginal communities.

Objectives

• to support Aboriginal communities as they take greater responsibility for the administration of justice;

• to help reduce crime and incarceration rates in the communities that administer justice programs;

• to improve Canada's justice system to make it more responsive to the justice needs and aspirations of Aboriginal people.
