The AJEFO is very grateful for the roadmap. We find that it generates very positive spinoffs. AJEFO is financed by the Department of Justice, but not necessarily in the area of immigration. The two pillars I mentioned earlier have allowed our organization to develop its projects for the next four years. I talked about the “information” pillar. Its purpose is to allow citizens to become informed about our justice system. I also talked about the “training” pillar, whose purpose is to help lawyers to serve that population.
The roadmap has not only allowed us to focus our mandate, but also to set up partnerships and diversify our sources of funds for these projects. I talked about the Ottawa Legal Information Centre, which is entirely funded by the Department of Justice through the roadmap. This allows us to set up financial partnerships on a province-wide scale, and of course in the city.
