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 Access to Justice in English in Quebec (AJEQ) project is a community-based initiative developed by the QCGN with support from Justice Canada. The project seeks to:

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.
