Mr. Speaker, if I understand the Member's question correctly, I think the answer would be no. Litigation and court matters are dealt with by different lawyers in the department who are specialists in court work. So in most circumstances, it would be different lawyers who represent the government when litigation is involved: different lawyers than those who might have been involved in advising the department on a matter that might ultimately lead to litigation. So it would not be the same lawyers in most cases, generally speaking. Thank you.
