Inauguration du Centre de justice de proximité de l'Abitibi-Témiscamingue
AI Article Summary

Quebec's Minister of Justice, Simon Jolin-Barrette, has opened the Proximity Justice Center in Abitibi-Témiscamingue located in Amos. The center provides free legal services tailored to the region’s residents, funded by over $500,000. Since its opening in June, around a hundred consultations have occurred. Proximity Justice Centers aim to enhance access to justice by offering adapted, free legal advice throughout Quebec.

What This Means for Canadian Contractors

This project demonstrates how strategic funding and location can improve access to legal services, potentially decreasing the need for centralized legal resources in urban areas. For Quebec builders, this may lead to increased demand for similar structures in other regions, indirectly affecting the local supply chain and labor costs in the public infrastructure construction sector.
