Description (French)
Le projet d'assistance parajudiciaire aux Autochtones au Nouveau Brunswick est une initiative provinciale fondée sur un partenariat entre Mi'gmawe'l Tplu'taqnn Incorporated, la Nation Peskotomuhkati, la Nation Wolastoqiyik du Nouveau-Brunswick et le Kopit Lodge de la Première Nation d'Elsipogtog. Il cernera les besoins et les lacunes en matière de services pour les peuples autochtones du Nouveau-Brunswick qui participent au système de justice pénale. À l'aide d'une approche de recherche à plusieurs volets qui comprend la consultation et la mobilisation, un rapport avec des conclusions et un modèle de programme d'assistance parajudiciaire aux Autochtones qui comprend la rédaction de rapports de type Gladue seront produits. Ce modèle guidera la mise en œuvre potentielle d'un programme d'assistance parajudiciaire aux Autochtones au Nouveau-Brunswick. Les partenaires du projet incluent les collectivités autochtones de toute la province qui détiennent des connaissances régionales et possèdent une expertise pertinente. Le projet sera exécuté avec l'aide d'un comité directeur composé d'au moins un représentant de chacun des partenaires du projet autochtone ainsi que d'acteurs clés du système de justice.
