Ontario’s Attorney General Doug Downey gave a speech Thursday about his government’s move to digitize large parts of the province’s court system.
Speaking to an audience at the Empire Club of Canada, Downey touted the success he says the Ford government has had moving certain court hearings online.
“Now, we started in 2021, this is where the count starts,” the Attorney General said. “As of August, we’ve had 11 million virtual and hybrid hearings, 11 million in that time: four years. And today, we have 195 courtrooms fully equipped to support those hybrid hearings.”
