Thanks to all three of you for your testimony.
In another life, I used to practise law, and for my sins, I sat on the paralegal committee. At that time we were wrestling with whether to admit paralegals to the law society in a forum, and ultimately that's what happened. Of course, once we brought them into the administration of the law society, we actually had serious regulation, and the Law Society Act was amended to bring those paralegals into that regulatory regime.
As far as I know, it's working well. Mr. Sarai anticipated my line of questioning. What I don't understand is that in the context of somebody practising law, either as a lawyer or as a paralegal, if they are not licensed, they are prosecuted. The law society, particularly with lawyers, is pretty vigorous about that, and I'm assuming that, with respect to paralegals, it's also pretty vigorous about that, so why is this vast mass of people not falling under that regime?
I apologize that I'm a bit out of date, but nevertheless, it strikes me as such an obvious area of prosecution.
