In Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario, and the Northwest Territories, direct legal services expenditures for provincial/territorial offences are included under criminal matters.          
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.          
Organizational structure and delivery of services changed in 2010/2011. Regional front line offices were transformed into Legal Service Centers providing information, brief services, expanded duty counsel and decisions for full certificate coverage.          
In Nunavut, direct legal services expenditures for provincial/territorial offences and youth criminal matters are included under adult criminal matters.          
Note(s): For more details on legal aid concepts and terminology refer to the glossary.
