ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The authors would like to acknowledge
the assistance and cooperation of a number of individuals for their support
during this project. We would like to extend our appreciation to Ms. Shirley
Riopelle Ouellet, Ms. Tina Hattem and Dr. Albert Currie, Department of Justice
Canada, for their advice and guidance.
We would especially like to thank
the following individuals from across Canada for providing us with the information
on their legal aid services that was essential to this report: Mr. W. Kent Brown,
Q.C., Prince Edward Island Legal Aid; Mr. T. Gerard Lukeman, Q.C., Nova Scotia
Legal Aid Commission; Mr. Bryan Whitfield, New Brunswick Justice, and Mr. David
Potter, Legal Aid New Brunswick; Me. Hélène Leduc and M. Yves
Carrière, Commission des services juridiques, Québec; Ms.
