The federal government, in particular the Department of Justice, has been in consultation with the provinces and territories through the permanent working group I mentioned.
Federal, provincial, and territorial ministers of justice discussed this issue both last year and this year. They have agreed to continue to examine the costs, including the costs as the result of new legislation, and that the provinces would submit those to the federal government before the halfway mark of the current five-year period of this budget announcement to consider whether there should be any change in the allocation.
The short answer is that there is an exercise, right now, between the Department of Justice and the provincial and territorial governments to calculate the cumulative impact of new reforms on the criminal justice system. That includes legal aid, police costs, all those kinds of costs. With respect to legal aid, the intention is that this would be brought to the attention of the federal government before the halfway mark so that the whole structure of legal aid could be reconsidered.
