and the Goals of Justice
Suffering is the opposite of the object of the Rule of law, and its cornerstone principle of justice. In seeing one's self only as an ambassador of justice and humanity as a single body, we may know with certainty that perpetrating pain or injury upon any other member of this body will inevitably result in equal, if not greater suffering for oneself.
Where a person has suffered damage, either moral or material in nature, the goal of justice is to bring her back into balance, that is back into the place in which she dwelt or subsisted before the harm or injury was inflicted.
These most recent measures aim to promote better access to fair, effective and affordable dispute prevention and resolution services at the community level.
Which We Dwell
This is not a place for breaking commitments, signing divorce papers, or putting an end to important relationships, rather this is a place where difficult conversations and untimely challenges and battles can turn into remarkable life changing experiences.
The people who work here have been carefully chosen for their creativity, demonstrated compassion and ability to work through difficult situations with people of all backgrounds, cultural origines and linguistic preferences.

While civil procedures have recently included specific provisions for ensuring greater confidentiality in the course of private dispute resolution proceedings, nonetheless, a bona fide confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement is generally required to better safeguard the parties right to privacy.
Service Offering
Union-Management Faciliation
The workplace is full of complex and delicate questions. Union-Management Facilitation sessions are perfect for working through or debriefing some of the employment and labour world’s ugliest battles. This service is open to union representatives and management executives. Topics of discussion and intervention may include, but are not limited to, human rights and accommodation issues, workplace privacy, discipline, discharge, insubordination, non-culpable termination, seniority benefits, payment of overtime, absences from work and much more. This service is available in both official languages.
Workplace Conciliation
Workplace conciliation is a process for helping disputing parties work through their matter, by way of an informal process, or by way of the internal grievance procedure in place. The conciliator may meet with the parties, separately or together, before a grievance has been filed, or after, that is during the course of the internal grievance resolution process. The conciliator's interventions aim to help parties understand the matters at stake, in light of the collective agreement in place, to manage the variances, and to reach a fair and reasonable settlement. Conciliation, as we practice it, is a non-adversarial rights based approach to resolving formal disputes or grievances in the workplace.
Community Based Conciliation
Community-based conciliation is a binding or non-binding, non-adversarial and rights-based approach to helping disputing parties to resolve their matter in a fair and reasonable manner. This service is appropriate for dealing with a broad range of civil and commercial issues between individuals and businesses.
International Arbitration
From a practical perspective, arbitration is the investigation, hearing and determination of one or more issues between parties by an independent and impartial third party, known as the "arbitrator." Arbitration is either compulsory or consensual.
