Dear Colleague,
On September 8, 2009, the McGuinty government announced the largest ever investment in legal aid - $150 million over the next four years. This is the single largest funding increase in legal aid’s history (almost 40 years), and represents a 21% increase. A 15% increase in the tariff has been funded over the past several years.
This investment will mean both greater access to legal support for Ontario’s most vulnerable and will result in significant additional remuneration for those who are doing the work.
We have set up working groups that will provide advice on achieving these two goals. These groups will begin meeting over the next two weeks.
This is the worst economic downtown since the 1930s. This largest ever increase is a very substantial commitment by the government to both those who need the service and those who provide it.

It's about time, why should we use 'advocates' when the prov laws are so crammed with excluding us for their own safety?
Everyone has their favorite way of using the internet. Many of us search to find what we want, click in to a specific website, read what’s available and click out. That’s not necessarily a bad thing because it’s efficient. We learn to tune out things we don’t need and go straight for what’s essential.
This goal-oriented way of surfing the web is largely based on short-term results. For example, finding facts to write a blog post, doing a comparison before making a purchase and reading a news site to find out what’s happening right now.
