Legal Aid Protest Continues

Ontario's attorney general says there is no more money for legal aid in the province despite a growing boycott by criminal lawyers, including those in northwestern Ontario, who say the program needs more funding.

Attorney General Chris Bentley says his government's recent $150-million increase in funding over the next four years "is it,'' and adds his focus now is on working with the lawyers to make sure the money goes where it is needed.

Frank Addario of the Criminal Lawyers' Association says he believes money will flow, but the government won't increase funding willingly.

He says that's why the boycott must continue.
