Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'd certainly like to thank all the witnesses for their attendance and for their expertise. I'd especially like to welcome Mr. Sapers.
Mr. Chair, you might be interested to know that Mr. Sapers and I are both former members of the Alberta legislature.
Welcome, all.
My first question is to Ms. Youssefi. You indicated that in your practise of criminal law you had never deliberately delayed the procedure in order for one of your clients to take advantage of the two-for-one credit, and I accept that without qualification. I'm curious to know whether a client of yours has ever fired you on the day of trial or so close to the day of trial that it was impossible for him or her to obtain and retain new counsel, therefore, perhaps, taking advantage of the two-for-one credit without your assistance.
