The Programs Branch of the Department of Justice manages the Justice Partnership and Innovation Program, which supports activities that respond effectively to the changing conditions effecting Canadian justice policy. Whether it is promoting or supporting newly reformed justice systems or improving the delivery of justice services, the Justice Partnership and Innovation Program allows the Department to develop and test these approaches in collaboration with organizations, other levels of government and individuals whose technical expertise is valued.

The objectives of the Justice Partnership and Innovation Program are:

• To promote and encourage involvement in the identification of emerging trends, issues and/or gaps and possible responses with respect to the justice system.
• To promote innovations in the justice system to ensure greater access to the justice system.
• To build knowledge, awareness, understanding and informed dialogue among justice stakeholders and/or the public on justice issues including access to justice, racism, official languages, anti-terrorism, sentencing and other emerging justice issues, including justice related issues in the international fora.
• To inform Canadians about access to justice issues and the justice system in order to contribute to increased public understanding, participation, confidence and trust in the justice system.
