Law Commission of Canada
An independent agency committed to engaging the people of Canada in the ongoing and dynamic evolution of law.
In 2023, following a 17-year hiatus, the Law Commission of Canada (“LCC”) rejoined independent law reform agencies throughout this country and beyond in underscoring the value of research and reflection on law’s roles in shaping human communities and supporting our complex identities, connections, and interactions.
Established by Parliament in the spring of 1997 by the Law Commission of Canada Act, the LCC is mandated to consider the changing needs of Canadian society through the study, review, and innovative development of Canada’s law and legal systems.
Non-partisan in nature and distinct from advocacy groups, the LCC offers leadership and guidance on the responsible and responsive evolution of law in the lives of people across Canada.
