<br />The LRSP works to promote constitutional language rights in Canada and offers financial aid to individuals, groups and non-profit organizations who belong to [[official bilingualism in Canada|official language]] communities in Canada and who feel their constitutional language rights have been breached.
<br />Financial aid can be awarded for [[alternative dispute resolution]] such as mediation, negotiation and arbitration or it can be awarded for litigation. To receive financial aid, applicants must fulfill the criteria set forth by the LRSP, most importantly having a case that involves constitutional language rights.
