Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there were a number of questions raised in the last six months. I met personally with the federal Minister of Justice, Martin Cauchon, here in October. We had recognized him in the gallery. We had gone down to Calgary and legal aid was one of the major topics. It's a problem nationally. We have consulted and communicated with the Legal Services Board and its current chairman. We have acknowledged the problems. I stated that in this House. We acknowledge there are some national problems with the level of funding in the provinces and territories. There's not an easy solution and I am prepared to try to find the solution. Again, it's done in concert with my provincial and territorial colleagues. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
