Real Estate listings near Department of Justice (Canada)

The purpose of the Department of Justice (French: Ministère de la Justice du Canada) is to ensure that the Canadian justice system is fair, accessible and efficient. The department represents the Canadian government in legal matters. Almost all lawyers in the federal government are employed by Justice and are dispatched to manage the legal affairs of the other departments and agencies. While the role of the Minister existed since 1867, the department was not created until 1868. The headquarters of the Department of Justice is located at St. Andrew's Tower (275 Sparks Street), a modern low rise office tower built in 1987. The current Minister of Justice (and Attorney General) is Jody Wilson-Raybould.
