Whereas the Province of Ontario issued a News Release on October 29, 2021 titled Ontario Introduces New Measures to Address Court Backlog. And whereas the News Release advises that the Ontario government is investing more than $72 million over two years to prioritize public safety and ensure offenders are held accountable by addressing the unprecedented backlog of criminal cases that accumulated in the justice system as a result of the pandemic.

And that this motion be forwarded to the Honourable Doug Downey, Attorney General, and the Honourable David Piccini, Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development and MPP Northumberland-Peterborough South, the County of Northumberland and all Northumberland municipalities, under the Mayor’s signature.
