In Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario, and
the Northwest Territories, direct legal services expenditures for provincial/territorial
offences are included under criminal matters.
In New Brunswick in 2004/2005, many members
of the private bar refused to take legal aid cases.
For Quebec, the breakdown in expenditures for
staff lawyers is estimated.
Ontario's figure for direct legal aid expenditures
includes an estimate for work done by private lawyers, but not billed to the
legal aid plan by year-end. A change in the method used to estimate this figure
resulted In a one-time increase in direct legal services expenditures (affecting
criminal and civil matters) of $33.6 million in 2005/2006.
In Nunavut, direct legal services expenditures
for provincial/territorial offences and youth criminal matters are included
under adult criminal matters.
