The Member is referring back to when the two regional legal aid clinic wards in that region were combined. This was over a year ago, so they have had a full year of operation after combining. Initially, they were not sure the budget would be sufficient. Although, it is true that anybody would always like a bigger budget, the fact is, they have managed all right under that budget, and it seems to be working out quite well. In addition to the budget for operating the clinic, they also have two staff lawyers placed there, and those positions are now filled. Things seem to be functioning pretty well.
