An approved application for summary service refers to the provision of legal advice, information, or any other types of minimal legal service to an individual upon written request during a formal interview. Only written requests are included.      
The population estimates used to calculate per capita figures are provided by Statistics Canada, Census and Demographic Statistics, Demography Division. Populations as of July 1st: final intercensal up to 2005, final postcensal for 2006 and 2007, updated postcensal for 2008 and 2009 and preliminary postcensal for 2010.      
In 2009/2010, the decline in the number of approved legal aid applications for summary services in Manitoba was due to removing advice as service in the Winnipeg offices.      
No distinction is made between summary and full service applications in Northwest Territories. All applications are counted as full service applications.      
Note(s): For more details on legal aid concepts and terminology refer to the glossary.
