fair and accessible Canadian justice system. To help the Department
achieve its broad policy objectives, the Programs Branch uses a

-
Provide project support in the form of grants and contributions to
governments, non-governmental organizations and community members
to undertake projects and activities that are aimed at working to
improve the justice system; and,
-
Provide contribution funding through funding arrangements with the
provinces and territories to support delivery of certain
justice-related services, such as Legal Aid, the Youth Justice
Services Funding Program, the Aboriginal Courtwork Program and
