Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In my Member's statement today, I spoke of the inability of the residents in small communities to receive a fair trial. While I acknowledge that the court party does travel to the smaller communities and there is a perception that justice does occur, I would like to ask the Minister of Justice, when a court party comes in and legal aid lawyers are given approximately ten or 15 minutes to talk to their clients before court starts, could the Minister of Justice tell this Assembly whether there is a minimum requirement for consultation between a legal aid lawyer and a person accused of a crime? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
