Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In my Member’s statement today, I referred to the recent decision of the Legal Services Board to no longer attend Justice of the Peace Court in the Beaufort-Delta. I am concerned that there are circumstances where a person should be represented by a lawyer in JP court. Can the Minister tell me whether a person appearing before a JP for a bail hearing would be eligible for a Legal Aid lawyer? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Can I call the meeting back to order here? Thank you. In regard to Mr. Braden’s guidance, I have been told that special warrants cannot be deleted. In effect, they are information items. Amounts for items not previously authorized may be deleted. However, a motion to amend the bill would be required in that instance. Thank you. Mr. Braden.
