The Quebec government is pledging $31 million to add security checkpoints and more special constables to the province’s courthouses after recent violent incidents that raised safety concerns.

Justice Minister Simon Jolin-Barrette and Public Security Minister François Bonnardel made the announcement on June 3 in Longueuil, where an interpreter was seriously injured in a courthouse knife attack early this year.
