Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Minister was right in his earlier remarks when he talked about the difference between larger jurisdictions like Ontario and British Columbia where there is a large private bar and this kind of legislation is not necessary. The bill we have before us is similar to legislation for smaller jurisdictions in Canada. Newfoundland, Manitoba and Saskatchewan have provisions in their legislation like this. I am suspecting some of those jurisdictions, they don't need it in every community, but in smaller communities where there are legal aid clinics, they may very well need it. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
