No, in fact. There are constitutional requirements for certain levels of criminal legal aid, but what you see for women is that they often have family law matters involving custody and access issues, and they've experienced violence, so the amount of federal money that's going to legal aid has not kept pace with the need nationally. The vast majority is being borne by the provinces, and the recommendations from that committee and others have been that the federal government needs to reinvest in legal aid, including civil legal aid, which is disproportionately needed by women.
It's mostly left to the provinces. In British Columbia, for example, as you probably know, legal aid was cut deeply in 2002 by the provincial government. We haven't recovered from that. It has created a huge access-to-justice gap for women in British Columbia, and in other provinces as well. The criminal legal aid is still funded because of constitutional requirements, but there are huge issues with the lack of adequate criminal legal aid, and certainly I would just add that for prison law, there is almost no funding in those provinces for legal aid.
