Legal clinics are really the poor relative because there is a big difference between legal aid offices and us. In Ottawa, there is a clinic that handles contesting tickets. It might even be the University of Ottawa clinic.
Now, the people who provide services to clients at that clinic are law students working under supervision. They do not have much experience with the consequences of such cases. On the other hand, I understand they have a very good reputation at the provincial court, which is great. So there is access to that.
As a legal clinic, we do not do criminal law. We do not even deal with minor offences, because that is not in our mandate. Our mandate is to deal with cases relating to poverty, income maintenance, housing and so on.
I am talking about Ottawa, but there might be people in other parts of the province who do not have representation.
