Why are we doing this?

Canada’s Criminal Justice System has a strong foundation, yet it is facing many challenges.

Whether it’s supporting victims of crime more effectively, reducing the number of vulnerable and marginalized people in the system, or completing cases faster, it’s clear that change is needed. It’s important for Canadians to think about these issues and what can be done to improve the system.

As part of this process, we are providing Canadians with an opportunity to have their say through an online discussion on a range of topics and issues related to the Criminal Justice System. For more information on these subjects, read the Criminal Justice System Primer.

These consultations are part of the Criminal Justice System review, which has involved working with stakeholders and provincial and territorial counterparts on determining what works well and where there is room for improvement in the current system. Criminal Justice System reform will take time and will continue on well into future years. The government’s vision of this broad reform is to ensure long-term safety and justice for all Canadians. A report on what we heard during this consultation will be published in winter 2018.
