Since June 2024, Justice Canada has worked to improve its process to create a report that reflects the shared experiences of Indigenous partners (Annex A) and the Government of Canada throughout the past reporting period.

We invite readers to approach this report with the understanding that everyone involved brings their best intentions, guided by honesty, respect, and a commitment to transparency. Our aim is to accurately represent the voices and perspectives of the Indigenous partners who generously shared their time, knowledge, and experiences with us.

We encourage reading this report with an open mind and humility to listen deeply.
