Introduction
The Department of Justice Canada has published an Accessibility Plan , as set out by the Accessible Canada Act.
With your feedback, Justice Canada will gradually improve its approach to addressing accessibility barriers you may experience when interacting with the Department.
Becoming an Accessible Organization
It is also important for Justice Canada to know if it is making progress in removing the barriers and implementing the actions outlined in its Accessibility Plan.
All feedback counts. Whether you are a client, an employee or a member of the public who interacts with Justice Canada, you can help us assess how we are doing by completing a short questionnaire. Answering the questions will take you less than 7 minutes.
Your participation is voluntary and responses will remain anonymous. Consult the more information and privacy notice sections to learn more about why we are seeking your input and what we are doing with the information you provide.

What Happens After You Respond
Your feedback matters. As we implement the Accessibility Plan, our goal is to make meaningful change as an organization, and you can tell us whether we are doing so. You can also help us make informed decisions about where to focus our efforts.
The Accessibility Coordinator at Justice Canada receives your submission and compiles the anonymous, aggregated data for analysis. Each time we publish a progress report after receiving your response, you can see how your feedback was taken into consideration.
