Official languages commissioner to intervene in N.B. French courthouse closure case

Canada’s official languages commissioner has announced her intention to intervene in a legal case regarding the closure of courthouses in New Brunswick. The courthouses in question previously served francophone communities within the province.

This intervention highlights ongoing concerns regarding access to justice and the preservation of services for French-speaking populations in New Brunswick. The legal proceedings will examine the implications of these closures on the rights of francophone citizens to access judicial services in their official language.
