Inuit Employment Plan:
The Public Prosecution Service of Canada (PPSC) has developed an Inuit Employment Plan covering the period from March 2023 to March 2033. This plan includes targeted strategies to support the recruitment, retention, and advancement of Nunavut Inuit employees within the organization. The goal is to help the PPSC maintain or achieve specific levels of Inuit representation, ensuring that the workforce reflects the diverse communities it serves. Through this plan, the PPSC is committed to fostering an inclusive environment that values the unique skills and perspectives of Nunavut Inuit candidates.

The Department:
The Public Prosecution Service of Canada (PPSC) is a national organization that prosecutes federal offences. In Nunavut, the PPSC prosecutes all criminal charges and other federal offenses. We offer career opportunities for prosecutors, paralegals, legal assistants, and a wide range of business professionals. Our organization consists of approximately 1000 employees in regional offices across the country, with approximately 50 in the Nunavut Regional Office.
In 2023, we updated our Mission and Values to reflect our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation as well as Equity and Inclusion. The PPSC acknowledges the realities faced by individuals subjected to systemic discrimination and the significant over-representation of racialized and Indigenous persons in the criminal justice system. The PPSC’s mission is to serve the public interest and help make Canada a safe and just society by conducting prosecutions in a manner that is equitable, objective and independent, while protecting the rights of every individual; and contributing to the change necessary to support a criminal justice system that is fair to all.

Every PPSC employee has a role to play in creating a work environment where every person can bring their whole self to work and feel valued and empowered to contribute. Being informed and influenced by our diverse employees helps change the heart and conscience of the PPSC. As part of the larger PPSC Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (EDIA) governance structure, you can join one of five National Councils for Employees: Persons living with Disabilities, Racialized Persons, Black Persons, Indigenous Peoples, and 2SLGBTQIA+.
The PPSC also updated the Decision to Prosecute test, which provides clear guidance to prosecutors on how to be more proactive and conscious about recognizing bias, discrimination, and other factors contributing to over-representation. Prosecutors now have a framework to consider background and systemic factors. These factors are considered not only as they relate to the accused, but also to the victim and affected communities, particularly Indigenous women and girls. It also seeks to clarify situations where the public interest may not require a prosecution.
The intent of this process is to collect resumes of Nunavut Inuit to match skills with current and future vacancies in the PPSC's Nunavut Regional Office.
