Mr. Speaker, that would depend on the situation of the applicant. It would depend on their income. Legal aid is not available to people who are deemed to be able to pay for their own legal advice. It would depend on the person's personal financial circumstances. The best way to find out would be to apply for legal aid. I cannot answer the general question. Thank you.
