In the news today: Stronach trial, Ottawa's alcohol tax, Canada's opponent in FIFA
Ottawa extends a 2% cap on annual alcohol tax hikes through 2028, aiding craft brewers while lawyers make final submissions in Frank Stronach's sexual assault trial.
- Lawyers are set to begin final submissions today in the sexual assault trial of Canadian auto parts tycoon Frank Stronach at the courthouse on 361 University Ave in Toronto.
- The 93-year-old Stronach has pleaded not guilty to 12 charges involving alleged incidents dating back decades, with his defence recently concluding their case after presenting testimony from two Peel Region police officers.
- Prosecutors have dropped five charges related to three of the seven complainants, though the defence has argued Stronach should be found not guilty on those counts rather than having them dismissed.
- Stronach's legal team has also indicated they will seek a stay of proceedings, a request that would halt the trial entirely and prevent a final verdict on remaining charges.
- With evidence now closed, the court moves toward a conclusion in this high-profile case addressing accusations facing the Canadian business executive regarding alleged historical sexual misconduct.
