In order to create constant dollar figures
with the effects of inflation removed, figures were converted to a base of 2002=100 using
Statistics Canada's Consumer Price Index.
The "Other" category may include, among others,
revenue from investments, research sales, and general interest earnings.
Interest from lawyer's trust accounts dropped
from 2009/2010 due to low interest rates. Government Contributions
decreased because of a one-time adjustment to the plan's pension and severance
accruals made in 2009/2010. In 2011/2012, the Government of Manitoba
raised the base budget of Legal Aid Manitoba to accommodate the 2008/2009 increase
in the fee schedule for applications approved and assigned to private lawyers.
Prior to 2011/2012, the costs of the 2008/2009 increase were
absorbed by Legal Aid Manitoba using grants from the Manitoba Law Foundation
("Contributions of the legal profession").
Total revenue includes client contributions
credited to the Government of the Northwest Territories consolidated revenue
fund and are not available to the plan.
Note(s):
When summed, provincial/territorial contributions (Table 3) plus federal contributions (Table 2)
may not equal total government contributions (Table 1) for the following reasons: (i) the total government contributions
figure in Table 1 is provided by the legal aid
plans, whereas the provincial/territorial and federal contributions figures
are obtained from the appropriate government department; (ii) any difference
in accounting methods (i.e. cash versus accrual) may cause differences in
the fiscal period that contributions are accounted for; and (iii) legal aid
plans may have submitted back claims to the federal government, which are
accounted for in the total government contributions figure. For more details
on legal aid concepts and terminology please refer to the glossary.
