Ontario Attorney General Doug Downey is set to announce sweeping new technological changes to the province’s justice system today, CBC News has learned.
The COVID-19 pandemic has essentially ground the wheels of justice to a halt in Ontario, adding to an already backlogged court system.
But the health crisis will now help usher in significant technological changes to boost efficiency, including more virtual hearings and a switch from paper to digital files, according to both Downey and the Criminal Lawyers’ Association (CLA).
