If I may, I'll add a couple of points.
I've heard the argument before: lawyers only get one course or whatever. The idea is that what happens in law is that you get trained to think like a lawyer. You get trained in how to apply knowledge of the law—that is, statute and the common law, the courts law, the civil law—to factual situations. That takes years of training. You get intensive training and that should be applicable to any area you specialize in. In fact, most lawyers don't specialize until they're long out of law school. It's that training in how to solve problems.
What happens with the consultants is that they get knowledge about what the current rules are. We're saying that most of the activity you're doing when you're giving advice and you're representing people involves applying knowledge of the law to factual situations, and that's an ability that takes years to do.
The other thing in terms of training is that most law societies now are moving to require compulsory training every year; that is, training that lawyers have to.... Right now in some provinces, such as my province of Alberta, it's still voluntary, but you have to file a plan every year; it will become mandatory shortly. In some provinces it's already mandatory that you must have a certain number of credits every year so that you stay on top of the law. Any self-respecting lawyer does stay on top of the law.
