A planned federal justice building, which will house several of the country's top courts, will be named after former prime minister Pierre Trudeau. In one of his last acts before leaving office next week, Prime Minister Jean Chrétien announced yesterday that the new courthouse will be called the Pierre Trudeau Building in honour of his old friend and mentor. The $151-million building, designed by architect Carlos Ott of Toronto, will house the Federal Court, the Federal Court of Appeal, the Court Martial Appeal Court, the Tax Court and their administrative offices.
