I'm doing work on another committee, the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights, and our current study is looking at access to justice and specifically at legal aid. We have heard testimony and we've received briefs regarding the strong correlation between access to justice and how marginalized groups really don't have that.
When you look at the clients you serve, the communities you serve, what's the status of access to justice in northern communities and how does that affect poverty? Is that a poverty reduction strategy that could be employed? I'm talking about the current funding and whether you believe it's adequate for the people you serve.
