Department of Justice Departmental Plans, Reports on Plans and Priorities

Please note that the Departmental Plans, Reports on Plans and Priorities from 2001-2006 have been archived by the Library and Archives on their website, and are no longer updated. Departmental Plans from 2006-2012 have also been archived by the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, and will henceforth not be updated.

The Departmental Plan and Reports on Plans and priorities discuss the strategic and program based actions that show how the Department of Justice will support the Government in achieving its yearly agenda. The report describes the actual results we are striving to achieve, describing our programs and services for Canadians, our priorities, and our progress meeting my mandate commitments and the Government’s priorities.

Justice will provide essential support to help the Government fulfill its commitment to upholding the Constitution and the rule of law, as well as advancing related domestic and international legal and policy interests through the development of public law policy. We remain determined to provide the Government with the best possible legal services—including both the full range of legal advice and support and, in my capacity as Attorney General of Canada, the conduct of litigation on behalf of the Government—with integrity and excellence. We will also play a central role in responding to new issues as they arise.

We are committed to ensuring that legislation meets the highest standards of equity, fairness and respect for the rule of law and that it respects the principles and values of the Charter. The guiding principles of gender-based analysis will continue to be applied in all the Department’s work, in the provision of legal services to other departments, and in advice to Cabinet.
