An accused who has access to legal advice has not necessary met with a lawyer, if I understand correctly, and a lawyer who meets with their client might advise the client differently than if they have only spoken to them on the telephone.
With regard to appearances, when it comes to deciding whether to appear in person or by videoconference, that may become an important issue in some trials, in my opinion, particularly when we consider the matter of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Mr. Le Grand Alary, do you have any comments to make about this more specific point?
