Subject to the outcome of the current court challenges by several provinces, that remains the plan.

Subject to the court challenge, yes. But most legal experts expect the challenge to fail, as the federal government is within its constitutional rights to do this. (I'm not a lawyer, so just repeating what I have been reading for the past six months or so.) But given that the Ontario government has a large surplus and nothing else that needs funding, it's probably a great plan to spend the money on lawyers.
