So we are going to spend $1B to replace $40M in annual leases, and rob thousands of people of tens of thousands of hours by forcing them onto transit they may not be able to afford? This is absurd and idiotic in every respect. No programs run with 500 people in attendance, so decentralization, as it is, is what's needed. Why not continue leasing, or, if you must cut that $40M/yr, find a way to build four smaller courts in various city corners?

Also, isn't it time to remove the money changers from Osgoode Hall? The court needs to have its own seat, not share it with a rogue regulator it is supposed to be supervising. No other Canadian province would permit such a scandalous and questionable set up. Ontario needs to grow up and shed its shady practises once and for all.

Let the law society move up to Bloor or somewhere appropriate for its status. Let the courts organize their dockets around lawyers schedules, and move in program leaders on different days. A no-brainer with cash upside
