Thank you again, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise again to bring forward a subject, which will be no surprise to all Members of the House, which is legal aid. Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the honourable Minister, Mr. Dent. As we all know, Mr. Dent has spoken quite directly by saying that some of the legal aid problems are due to resources, due to human resources as well as financial, and that we have quite a lengthy waiting list. To the Minister, Mr. Speaker, does the present system of legal aid enable and approve clients to seek out and engage a lawyer to speed up their access to justice, whereby legal aid will still pay for that service? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
