1.
In Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario, and the Northwest Territories, direct legal services expenditures for provincial/territorial offences are included under criminal matters.
2.
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.
3.
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. The creation of Legal Service Centers resulted in realignment of services provided by staff lawyers for certain types of matters.
4.
In Nunavut, direct legal services expenditures for provincial/territorial offences and youth criminal matters are included under adult criminal matters. Prior to 2010/2011, figures for legal aid expenditures were based on an accounting system administered by the Government of Nunavut departments of finance and justice; figures for 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 legal aid expenditures are based on an accounting system developed by a third-party accountant on behalf of the Legal Services Board (LSB) of Nunavut. Consequently, legal aid expenditures for 2009/2010 and earlier, on the one hand, and 2010/2011 and 2011/2012, on the other hand, are not comparable.
