none

Value

Varies

Description

The Legal Aid Program provides contribution funding to the provinces and territories for the delivery of legal aid services for economically disadvantaged persons. This federal-provincial/territorial collaboration on legal aid is based on the shared responsibility for criminal justice by the federal government, under its constitutional authority for criminal law-making and procedure, and by the provincial/territorial governments, under their constitutional authority for the administration of justice, including legal aid.

Eligible Applicants

As legal aid is a cost-shared program between the federal government and provincial/territorial governments, federal contribution funding for the delivery of legal aid services is provided directly to provincial and territorial governments.

Eligible Expenses

The Legal Aid Program provides funding to the provinces, through its contribution agreements respecting criminal legal aid, and to the territories, through the consolidated Access to Justice Services Agreements, for the delivery of criminal legal aid services to:

  • young persons facing proceedings under the Youth Criminal Justice Act; and
  • eligible, economically disadvantaged persons charged with serious and/or complex criminal offences and facing the likelihood of incarceration; proceedings pursuant to Part XX.1 of the Criminal Code; proceedings under the Extradition Act; and appeals by the Crown, or in certain cases, their own appeal.
