On March 16, 2007, the announcement of the establishment of a new office for a Federal Ombudsman for Victims of Crime was made in Toronto by the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, and the Minister of Public Safety.

The Federal Ombudsman for Victims of Crime will be appointed to ensure the federal government meets its legislative and policy commitments; to promote access to existing government programs and services; and to identify and explore systematic and emerging victim issues. The Ombudsman will operate at arm’s length from the Department of Justice and the Department of Public Safety.
