Other activities will include building cultural awareness through Indigenous-led training for CAVAC staff and ensuring respect for the rights of victims of the Canadian Victims Bill of Rights by exercising victims' rights when the accused is found unfit to stand trial or not criminally responsible on account of a mental disorder.
