Yes.
At present I practice at a downtown Toronto law firm. My hourly rate is $275 plus GST and disbursements. Those disbursements would include any expenses in relation to the work performed for the client. For instance, if there were an examination for discovery in Winnipeg and I had to fly to Winnipeg and stay at a hotel or accommodations in Winnipeg, then all of that would be billed back to the client.
In this case I was happy to do it at personal expense with that knowledge, because it was such a wonderful and unique opportunity and I was proud to serve the Canadian people.
