Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Legal Services Board is comprised of five board members now. After the break up with Nunavut, the board is a lot smaller. They are attempting to use existing lawyers who are practicing in the North, trying to be in the south part of the lake now, to utilize their services to do legal aid in the honourable Member's riding.
The responsibility of the Legal Services Board is to retain these lawyers to provide these services and try to follow the Act as close as possible, meaning that yes, the requirements of the Act have to be met during their retention to provide a legal service. Thank you.
