5. End date: Ongoing
6. Description:The objective of the Aboriginal Courtwork Program is to improve access to justice by helping Aboriginal people involved in the criminal justice system obtain fair, just, equitable and culturally sensitive treatment. It is the only ongoing justice related program available to all Aboriginal people (adult and youth), regardless of status and residency. The
Program provides Aboriginal persons charged with an offence with timely and accurate information on their rights, obligations, roles and responsibilities at the earliest possible stage of the criminal justice process. Services also include referring clients to appropriate legal and social resources in their community. Aboriginal Courtworkers serve as a "bridge" between criminal justice
officials and Aboriginal people and communities by providing information, cultural context, and liaison, and promoting communications and understanding.
Recipients: Federal contributions will be made to provincial governments to provide Aboriginal Courtwork services to Aboriginal persons (adults and youths) charged with an offence under any federal or provincial statute or municipal by-law. A province may authorize one or more agencies to deliver Aboriginal Courtwork services on its behalf. All designated delivery
agencies will be accountable to the funders. In addition, the Projects in Support of the Aboriginal Courtwork Program component provides modest support for projects that further the mandate of the Program.
7. Expected results: Contribution agreements with the provinces will support delivery of Aboriginal Courtwork services to ensure access to justice for Aboriginal people within the mainstream Canadian justice system, which will promote fair, equitable and culturally relevant treatment before the courts.

4. Start date:1996
5. End date: Ongoing
6. Description:The goal of the Access to Justice Services Agreements is to integrate federal government funding support to Canada's three territories for access to justice services (including criminal and civil legal aid, Aboriginal Courtwork, and Public Legal Education and Information) through ongoing contribution agreements that allow the territories the flexibility
needed to provide these services in a challenging environment (vast distances, harsh climate, cultural/linguistic differences). The overarching goal of federal support for Aboriginal Courtwork services is to facilitate and enhance access to justice by assisting Aboriginal people involved in the criminal justice system to obtain fair, just, equitable and culturally sensitive treatment. With
regard to legal aid services in the territories, the federal goal is to enable the territories to provide legal aid services to economically disadvantaged persons involved in serious criminal, youth criminal justice and civil matters. And, with respect to public legal education and information, the goal is to assist the territories in providing members of the public with the legal information
they need to make informed decisions and participate effectively in the justice system.
Recipients:Territorial governments that undertake to provide services to eligible persons and eligible young persons in matters relating to the overall objectives of the Access to Justice Services Agreements. The territories may authorize entities ("territorial access to justice services delivery entities") to provide services in these matters.
7. Expected results: Contribution agreements signed with the territories will allow greater flexibility to allocate resources which will enable the territories to deliver access to justice services in the areas of Legal Aid (criminal and civil), Aboriginal Courtwork and Public Legal Education and Information.

1. Name of Horizontal Initiative: National Anti-Drug Strategy
2. Name of lead department(s): Department of Justice
3. Lead department program activity: Justice policies, laws and programs
4. Start date of the Horizontal Initiative: 2007-08
5. End date of the Horizontal Initiative: 2011-12 and ongoing
6. Total federal funding allocation (start to end date): $527.9 millions
7. Description of the Horizontal Initiative (including funding agreement):
The National Anti-Drug Strategy (NADS) was launched by the Government of Canada in 2007, with a clear focus on illicit drugs and a particular emphasis on youth. Its goal is to contribute to safer and healthier communities through coordinated efforts to prevent use, treat dependency and reduce production and distribution of illicit drugs. It encompasses three action plans: prevention, treatment and enforcement.
The prevention action plan supports efforts to prevent youth from using illicit drugs by enhancing their awareness and understanding of the harmful social and health effects of illicit drug use, and to develop and implement community-based interventions and initiatives to prevent illicit drug use. The treatment action plan supports effective treatment and rehabilitation systems and services by developing and implementing innovative and collaborative approaches. The enforcement action plan aims to contribute to the disruption of illicit drug operations in a safe manner, particularly targeting criminal organizations.
8. Shared outcome(s):
9. Governance structure(s):
The governance structure of the Strategy consists of an Assistant Deputy Minister Steering Committee and working groups on policy and performance, prevention and treatment, enforcement, and communications. The governance structure is supported by the Youth Justice, and Strategic Initiatives and Law Reform Section of the Department of Justice Canada.
The Assistant Deputy Minister Steering Committee (ADMSC), which is chaired by the Department of Justice Canada, oversees the implementation of the Strategy, making decisions necessary to advance the initiative, where required, and ensuring appropriate and timely outcomes for the initiative and accountability in the expenditure of initiative resources. The ADMSC prepares questions for the consideration of Deputy Ministers, where appropriate.
The Prevention and Treatment Working Group, chaired by Health Canada, oversees the implementation of the Prevention and Treatment Action Plans. The Enforcement Working Group, chaired by the Department of Public Safety Canada, oversees the implementation of the Enforcement Action Plan. The Policy and Performance Working Group, chaired by the Department of Justice Canada, oversees policy directions and outcomes for the Strategy and the work of the Sub-Committee on Evaluation and Reporting. The Communications Working Group, chaired by the Department of Justice Canada, oversees communication of the Strategy including, making decisions necessary to advance communication of the initiative and ensuring coordination of communication.
10. Planning Highlights:
For 2011-12, the 12 federal partner departments and agencies involved in the NADS (the Strategy) will continue to implement the Strategy as planned, with its focus on contributing to safer and healthier communities through coordinated efforts to prevent use, treat dependency, and reduce the production and distribution of illicit drugs. As this is the last year for the current Strategy, planning has commenced for Strategy renewal and this process will likely culminate sometime in the latter half of the fiscal year with proposals to set the course for the next phase of the Strategy. In addition, as is required by the accountability structure for the Strategy, an impact evaluation has been initiated and that evaluation will be completed within the 2011-12 fiscal year.
The overall operating environment for the Strategy may change if the Bill (S-10) proposing mandatory minimum penalties (MMPs) for serious drug offences is passed by Parliament, although the affected Strategy partners have plans in place to meet this challenge.
The following tables present the expected results for each federal partner's program activities.

16. Expected results by program as per (13):
Mass Media Campaign:The mass media campaign plans to enhance the capacity of targeted populations to make informed decisions about illicit drug use. The mass media campaign will be measured by the change in the level of awareness, attitude, knowledge and capacity among targeted populations pertaining to their decisions regarding illicit drug use, related risk-taking behaviour and associated consequences. This will be conducted through post campaign public opinion research with both youth 13-15 years of age and their parents, and measured against the baseline surveys that were conducted with parents in 2008 and with youth in 2009. Other evaluation metrics will include: website statistics, Facebook fans, engagement, booklet downloads, calls to 1-800-O-Canada and the number of booklets ordered/shipped.
Drug Strategy Community Initiatives Fund (DSCIF): DSCIF plans to enhance the capacity of targeted populations to make informed decisions about illicit drug use. The program's success and progress will be measured by the level/nature of acquired or improved knowledge/skills to avoid illicit drug use within the targeted population, and will be measured by evidence that capacity changes are influencing decision-making and behaviours around illicit drug use and associated consequences in targeted populations.
DSCIF also plans to strengthen community responses to illicit drug issues in targeted areas, and will measure their progress based on the type/nature of ways that community responses have been strengthened in targeted areas. For example, the adoption/integration of evidence-informed/best practices within the targeted areas will indicate the program's contribution to this outcome.
Drug Treatment Funding Program (DTFP): DTFP plans to increase the availability of and access to effective treatment services and programs for at-risk youth in areas of need. The program's success and progress will be measured by the type/nature of treatment services and supports that have been made available, and by the program/service utilization trends associated with their populations and areas of need. DTFP also seeks to enhance capacity to plan/deliver a range of treatment services and programs to targeted populations. This will be measured by the extent to which P/T jurisdictions show evidence of building capacity (e.g., training activities, increased number of counsellors, wider range of services, etc.), and the type/nature of capacity enhancements, treatment services and supports for people residing in Downtown Eastside Vancouver by populations targeted (e.g., youth, Aboriginal populations, sex trade workers and ex-offenders). DTFP is also expecting to improve collaboration on responses and knowledge of treatment issues, which will be measured by the nature, scope and depth of collaborative activities within and among jurisdictions and stakeholders; and stakeholder perceptions on the extent to which responses to DTFP treatment issues are collaborative (e.g., lessons learned). Ultimately the DTFP is working towards improving treatment systems, programs and services to address illicit drug dependency of affected Canadians.
National Native Alcohol and Drug Abuse Program: First Nations and Inuit Health Branch (FNIHB) plans to increase the availability of and access to effective treatment services and programs for First Nations and Inuit populations in areas of need (as determined by regional needs assessments). The progress of this plan will be measured by the nature of new or enhanced services that have been made available through funding in targeted areas and are based on research or best practices. FNIHB also plans to improve treatment systems, programs and services to address illicit drug dependency in First Nations and Inuit populations in areas of need. The progress of this plan will be measured by:
Office of Controlled Substances: The Office of Controlled Substances (OCS) plans to reduce the risk of diversion of precursor chemicals by using Strategy funding to improve processes for the issuance of precursor licences and permits. This will include reviewing and streamlining guidance provided to regulated parties involved in carrying out activities with precursor chemicals, and to law enforcement regarding the application for authorization to dispose of seized controlled substances. It will also include improving the tools used to record losses and thefts reported to the OCS by regulated parties.
Drug Analysis Services: Drug Analysis Services (DAS) plans to improve drug enforcement intelligence and evidence, and to increase safety in dismantling illicit drug operations. The success and progress of this plan will be measured by: the perceptions of stakeholders regarding the benefit and timeliness of DAS contributions to court/police responses; the number and nature of injuries to law enforcement officers/other first responders; and the level of additional risk to the environment during the investigation and dismantling of illegal drug operations.

Conditional Release Decisions: Should the proposed legislation receive Royal Assent, this funding will provide Parole Board of Canada (PBC) the capacity for effective management of its legislated responsibilities for parole decision-making for offenders in relation to the requirements of the new legislation. PBC will collect information and report on workloads and outcomes of parole for provincial offenders incarcerated as a result of new legislative provisions (e.g., the number and proportion of offenders who successfully complete their parole).
Conditional Release Decisions Openness and Accountability: Should the proposed legislation receive Royal Assent, this funding will provide the PBC the capacity for provision of information and assistance to victims of crime, observers at hearings and individuals who seek access to decision registry in relation to the requirements of the new legislation. In a similar manner, PBC will report on the extent of involvement of victims and observers in conditional release processes and the level of satisfaction of these individuals with the information and assistance provided by PBC.
Effective management of both these responsibilities will contribute to public safety and reinforce public confidence in the justice system.
