Lawyers in Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan are both barristers and notaries. That is not the case in Quebec: a lawyer cannot be a notary, and vice versa. The basis of comparison they used therefore does not work for Quebec. In the nine other provinces, which are English-speaking, lawyers are also notaries, whereas in Quebec, the two functions are completely separate. Therefore no comparison is possible.
