Perhaps, Mr. Chair, I can take that question.
Recognizing the differences in the territories in terms of size, scope, and scale, we've combined a series of programs. As you said, we've been for many years now combining a variety of programs through access to justice agreements. Given the jurisdictional responsibilities that provinces and territories have for legal aid, they each establish their own eligibility and administration requirements. We have found in collaboration with the territories that the access to justice agreement offers them a degree of flexibility. Given that they have a lot of land and few people, if I can put it that way, their administration of justice is different.
There are similarities, for example, if you go from northern Quebec to northern Ontario, across the northern parts of the territories. Certainly, provinces collaborate through that, but we provide funding for legal aid and other programs to the provinces. I would say, though, if you like, there is a northern collaboration, south of 60°, given the similarities there; but the truth is the provinces have a program administration capacity that's different from what the territories currently possess, so we transfer program by program to the provinces.
