You are quite familiar with what legal aid has provided for, of course, in the Province of British Columbia. That being said, in the example you gave us of the woman who was being threatened by her ex-spouse or estranged spouse, you said she had used up her 25 hours. Is there no flexibility to apply to legal aid and say, “Just a second here. I appreciate that a couple of years ago I had to have legal advice, but 25 hours isn't going to cut it”? Is there no ability within the legal aid system in British Columbia that you know of?
