There have been some ongoing intergovernmental negotiations. I'm a representative of the legal aid plan and not of the Ontario government, so we're not always at the table for those discussions; we assist the province and support the negotiations of the cost-sharing agreement. But I am aware that the issue of funding for legal aid was discussed significantly at the recent meeting of the provincial-federal-territorial justice ministers conducted in October in Newfoundland.
I read the press release with interest and noted that all of the provincial and territorial justice ministers were unanimously in support of increased federal funding. But the silence of the federal justice minister was also observable in the press release.
