I think it's important that in Canada we have high levels of consistency in our justice system, and legal aid is an important component of that.
In Canada, we have a standard framework for what judges are paid. We do a number of things that make sense in the scheme of things, but around legal aid there's a much higher level of diversity—a troubling level—than you see in other social services in Canada.
What I'm saying is that I believe there are important strategic issues in justice that need to be addressed, and the federal government has a role in that. It's not just about legal aid, but legal aid is a tool to that end, Mr. Duvall.
