Sorry; just before we go, Mr. Chairman, I wanted to make the point on the record that we looked at a number of other jurisdictions. I talked about the best case scenario where we would have enough private bar lawyers doing this type of work. We did look at some other jurisdictions that have similar models. I was hoping that maybe Mr. Aitken could provide some insight into the draft of this legislation and which of the jurisdictions we looked at.

Aitken

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.
