Strengthening Support for Access to Justice Services in Both Official Languages in Ontario
November 15, 2024
The Government of Canada is investing $3.3 million over five years to support access to justice services in both official languages in Ontario. This investment will help to ensure that Franco-Ontarians have access to the justice services they need, in the language of their choice.
The funding will be used to support a variety of initiatives, including:
· Expanding the availability of French-language legal aid services · Increasing the number of French-speaking judges and lawyers · Providing training for justice professionals on the needs of Franco-Ontarians · Developing resources and materials in French to help people understand the justice system
“Access to justice is a fundamental right for all Canadians, regardless of their language,” said the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, David Lametti. “This investment will help to ensure that Franco-Ontarians have the same access to justice services as all other Canadians.”
“This is a historic investment for access to justice in French in Ontario,” said the President of the Association des juristes d’expression française de l’Ontario, Me Michel Doucet. “It will make a real difference in the lives of Franco-Ontarians who need to access the justice system.”
The Government of Canada has a long-standing commitment to promoting access to justice in both official languages. In 2021, the government announced a $15 million investment in access to justice services in both official languages across the country. This investment is part of the government’s broader efforts to build a more inclusive and just society for all Canadians.
