Ontario cancels plan to build new courthouse in Halton Region GlobeToronto

Attorney General Doug Downey said he decided to cancel the project because the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to modernize the court process across Ontario.“The needs of the justice sector have changed and there is broad consensus we cannot go back to the way things were done before the public health emergency,” Downey said in a statement.

The statement goes on to note that Tory legislator Ted Arnott rose at Queen’s Park a dozen times over several years to ask the Liberals about the project. “This decision was made because our government is committed to rethinking the justice system and ensuring it is accessible, responsive and operating the way Ontarians should expect in 2020,” Jenessa Crognali said.

globetoronto Dang, that is one tired courthouse!
