I'm not sure it would exacerbate the funding problem. I think the bigger cost problem, and there have been studies to show this, is the cost that flows through the system to health care, to the criminal system, and to elsewhere in the system when a family law problem turns into a family law catastrophe, or when a poverty law problem with a landlord turns into a catastrophe: now you're homeless, perhaps you've lost your job, perhaps you're on welfare, and so on.
We think, and I think many of your other witnesses reflected this as well, that the investments to be made here, including in family law and including in poverty law, save various public purses, provincial and federal, many times more down the road.
