My final question has to do with the low threshold for someone to get coverage. In Ontario, for example, a single person must make less than $12,863 annually for them to benefit from legal aid without being required to make a contribution. That's a very low amount.
If that person doesn't get accepted into the legal aid program, and they're essentially on their own, is there any way, beyond coverage, that they could be helped in terms of education, referrals, or any guidance that they could get in pursuing their legal matters? People who are charged with criminal offences are under great stress and disruption in their lives. How can you help them?
