Restorative justice programs, of various types, have increased dramatically in Canada since the early 1990s. With this rise in programs has come a desire, on a number of fronts, to see the funding and delivery of such programs standardized. While the push for standardization comes from different sources and for different reasons, this paper maintains that, for the most part, such initiatives are unhelpful to the development of restorative justice programs, and in particular, may work against the delivery and development of Aboriginal justice programs.
