The applicants sought judicial review to quash the Ontario government's decision to cancel the basic income pilot project.
The Divisional Court dismissed the application, holding that the cancellation was a core policy decision regarding the allocation of public funds and was therefore not subject to judicial review.
The Court found that the applicants had no legitimate expectation to be consulted on funding decisions, and that quashing the decision would impermissibly require the court to compel the government to continue funding the program.
