Robert Hawkins Yellowknife Centre
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just quickly here: how many legal aid lawyers do we have on staff right now? As I understand it, we have multiple clinics, and if they could give it to me by clinic…. I’m not sure if we still represent a clinic in Inuvik, but if we do, could I have that? Could I
have the
breakdown of how many legal aid lawyers we have in Yellowknife in the two clinics? And of course, if we have any additional clinics, if I could have the breakdown of the staffing in those, specific to lawyers that provide legal aid services. I’m not looking for the administration or those types of details — just lawyers who provide legal aid.

Mr. Chair, with respect to the lawyers, the family clinic has three, and at the legal aid clinic we do have six positions. Mahsi.

Thank you again, Mr. Chair. The question is in regard to the travel amount under Details of Other Expenses on this page.
We were given to understand that most departments are representing a 5 or a 10 per cent reduction in travel and supplies. This travel budget has gone from $279,000 last year and is an increase of $11,000 for the 2008–2009 budget. I wonder if I could have an explanation, please.

Mr. Chair,
we
do
recognize that there were proposed cuts in this area. The number you see before you is due to the fact our legal aid lawyers are on the community circuits. It does cost money to do circuits to the communities. Mahsi.
