Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Because legal aid is public money there are many people who need legal help to assist them through bad times. As the Minister pointed out, if the money is recoverable the department should hopefully, over a period of time, recover a large percentage of what is paid out. Is there a ceiling to the amount which an individual or individuals can become eligible for under legal aid? I realize legal services are expensive, but is there a ceiling which prevents the using up of all this money fairly quickly on one or two issues?
