Description

This fact sheet is based on publicly available data from Statistics Canada. It examines data from 2020–2021 ─ the first year following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. At that time, public health measures were put into place, which temporarily closed, postponed and/or restricted Canadian court proceedings. As a result, there was an unprecedented decline in the number of adult court cases, particularly in the first few months of 2020. It is important to keep this context in mind when interpreting the data in this fact sheet.
