Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Thank you all for being here today and for your thoughtful comments.
Ms. Go, you mentioned that one of the issues with legal aid services is the problem with middle-class people not being able to afford legal services. I believe you mentioned that. One of the suggestions that I've heard is to allow for contribution agreements for legal aid services. Last week, we heard from the department that only 7% of revenues come from contribution agreements or from the clients themselves making contributions to their legal aid services.
As you know, we have this problem where people who are very poor get legal representation, there's an automatic cut-off, and after that you're on your own. I'm wondering if you can comment on whether contribution agreements would be something that would work. Are they being attempted in provinces, and what does that look like?
