Indigenous Justice Strategy REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

In January 2021, the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada was mandated with developing, in consultation and cooperation with Indigenous partners, provinces and territories, an Indigenous Justice Strategy to address systemic discrimination and the overrepresentation of Indigenous peoples in the justice system.

IRC is seeking proposals from qualified lawyers with expertise in the areas of criminal law and who have demonstrated experience practicing in Canada’s north (e.g. N.W.T., Yukon or Nunavut). Preference will be given to lawyers with experience practicing within indigenous communities and those with experience working with Indigenous groups. Other demonstrated expertise and experience outside may be considered. The lawyer will use their practice experience, legal knowledge and northern network of justice system stakeholders to work with IRC to develop an engagement plan, execute the plan, modify the plan as required, and prepare the requisite reports in line with IRC’s funding obligations to the Government of Canada.
