The law affects every member of our society, so we all have an interest in ensuring that it is relevant, responsive, effective, accessible and just.  Your participation in the Law Commission’s work, and in the ongoing renewal of our legal system, is essential.  Get involved and make a difference!

The Law Commission of Canada is an independent federal law reform agency that advises Parliament on how to improve and modernize Canada’s laws.

The Commission's work is structured around the following four complementary themes:

• Personal Relationships
• Social Relationships
• Economic Relationships
• Governance Relationships

In addition to the four thematic areas that form the Commission's strategic agenda, work has begun on a question that relates to all four:

• What is a Crime?

The Minister of Justice may also refer questions to the Commission:

• Ministerial References
