ABOUT THE ACCESS TO JUSTICE IN ENGLISH PROJECT
The QCGN considers access to justice in English in Quebec as essential to strengthening community vitality and representation.

The AJEQ project operates in all areas where authorities can facilitate, hinder, influence or arbitrate OLMC rights.

The project gathers qualitative and quantitative data from many sources to develop evidence-based positions and actions to improve access to justice in English.

Following the collection and analysis of relevant information, a report is prepared to explain a particular AJEQ issue and recommend what to do to effect change in the justice system.

The project supports QCGN actions to follow through on AJEQ report recommendations.
