The Government of Canada has approved enhancements to the Department of Justice Victims Fund, effective April 1, 2007.

The types of crimes eligible for emergency financial assistance are:
- Homicide
- Sexual Assault
- Aggravated Assault
- Assault with serious personal violence, including against a child.
