Closing Date: July 11, 2025

The Department of Justice Canada is reopening the Survey of Criminal Justice System Stakeholders: Efficiencies, Legislative Amendments, and the Ongoing Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic. This survey examines stakeholders’ perceptions of criminal justice system (CJS) efficiencies, explores the impacts of recent legislative changes related to criminal court efficiencies, remote court attendance, and bail, as well as looking at the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the CJS.

The survey was first launched in February 2025 and closed in late March due to the election period. To ensure that all interested stakeholders have an opportunity to provide feedback, the survey will be reopened until July 11, 2025.

We thank all those who have already taken the time to complete the survey. As a reminder, the survey seeks the views of stakeholders with experience in the criminal justice system, including Crown and defence lawyers, the judiciary, police officers, court administrators and other court workers.
