This Implementation Plan (“the Plan”) is the Government of Canada’s response to the report of the external Steering Group (the “Steering Group”) for Canada’s Black Justice Strategy, A Roadmap for Transformative Change: Canada's Black Justice Strategy (“the Report”). The Report is an historic and important document that sets out recommendations to combat anti-Black racism and systemic discrimination that has led to the overrepresentation of Black people in the criminal justice system, including as victims of crime.
