Justice is Served…a Mandate Letter Part II: Criminal Justice & National Security

I introduced the Liberal Government’s release of its Mandate Letters and covered the “terrorism related priorities” included in the Minister of Justice and Attorney General’s Mandate Letter in a previous post (Part I of Justice is Service). In this brief post, I wanted to cover three additional priorities included in the Honourable David Lametti’s Letter, each of which might be defined as national security-adjacent criminal justice priorities. They are explained below, with the bullets indicating the relevant Mandate Letter’s priorities.

Justice is Served…a Mandate Letter: Terrorism Priorities

Intrepid Blog will be releasing a series of posts on the Mandate Letters over the next two weeks, starting today with the Minister of Justice and Attorney General’s Mandate Letter. The Honourable David Lametti’s Letter is a broad one; it includes twenty-one bulleted “deliverables” that the Minister is expected to work on as top priorities, though the Minister is also “encouraged…to identify additional priorities”.
