It's very short. I can basically describe it very briefly.
In terms of the third question you asked, whether there are conditions to this money, no, there are no conditions to the money except that the money has to be used for legal aid.
How is it expended by the province? That is according to the province. There is some legal aid money that is conditional, and that's the money that is provided for immigration and refugees. That has to be provided for that purpose. But the general amount that's provided for criminal legal aid is disbursed by the provinces according to the provincial criteria.
With respect to the question as to the criteria that go into the negotiations and the formula, it's quite a complex formula, but I'll just describe the criteria.
The working group looks at the previous contributions by the federal government. It looks at the population of the province or territory--let me just stick with the province--and the number of rural communities in the province, the number of persons charged under the Criminal Code and the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, and the provincial contributions toward criminal legal aid expenditures. There's a mathematical formula that looks at these and comes up with a different allocation for each province.
