Department of Justice Canada
The Department of Justice has the mandate to support the dual roles of the Minister of Justice and the Attorney General of Canada. The Department also works to ensure the federal government is supported by high-quality legal services, and the justice system is fair, relevant, accessible, and reflective of Canadian values.
We are in the process of moving our services and information to Canada.ca.
Our current Department of Justice website will remain available until the move to Canada.ca is complete.
