For the interest of a Canadian who may want to look at these proceedings to get a better picture of how Canada stands with regard to people who are represented or not represented by legal aid, could you go through the evolution of legal aid in Canada, and in Ontario in particular?
From a participatory standpoint, I'm aware of its progress since 1970, and I am proud that we are more and more able to represent people who have less ability to represent themselves.
I'm just wondering if you could give us a brief overview so that anyone who is accessing these hearings could have a picture of the progress we've made since just before we even had anything called legal aid.
