There's no one cause for backlogs in the justice system. There are a number of different reasons. Part of it may be legal aid, part of it may be simply an increase in crime in certain jurisdictions, part of it may be due to other factors.
What the Conservative government has done is set up a number of working groups with the provinces and territories to look at the causes of backlogs. We've also set up a steering committee composed of judges, the bar association, and some representatives of the provinces' attorneys general, to look at justice efficiencies—in other words, where the justice system can be made more efficient. One of the priorities of the provinces right now is looking at remand backlogs. The backlogs exist because it is taking a while for certain people to get to trial.
But one can't simply say it's because of a lack of legal aid that there are backlogs. It's a complex problem, and that's why we're looking at it.
