There are countless Canadians who've served their sentences and are living law-abiding lives, yet continue to face stigma and barriers because they still have a criminal record. Furthermore, lingering criminal records have led to the overrepresentation of Indigenous, Black and other racialized individuals in our criminal justice system. That's why the Government of Canada is taking action to help more people break free of this stigma by making record suspensions fairer, cheaper and more accessible to everyone.

This funding will help community-based organizations support those applying for record suspensions in navigating the process, ensuring they have access to the right information and resources. It will also help reduce reliance on some private, for-profit companies that can give misleading information and charge high fees
