 It gives me great
pleasure to present this Sustainable Development Strategy,
which is the second such Strategy that has been prepared by
the Department of Justice.
In order to ensure a sustainable future for our children, we
need to continue our efforts to make decisions that find the
right balance among social equity, economic well-being and
protection of the environment. This is a continual challenge
for governments, and indeed for all Canadians.
The justice system is an essential part of the foundation
that we need in order to meet this challenge. Under this
second Sustainable Development Strategy, the Department of
Justice will continue to do its part, through policies and
programs to help strengthen our social infrastructure, legal
support for sustainable development activity by departments
and agencies across the federal government, and action to
"green" Justice's own departmental operations.
This Strategy is built upon the progress made and experience
gained over the past three years in carrying out the
commitments under the first Department of Justice Strategy.
It has also benefitted from the excellent guidance provided
to federal departments by the Commissioner of the Environment
and Sustainable Development.
It is my sincere hope that all the partners in the justice
system will join the Department of Justice in working to
achieve a sustainable future.
