An approved application for summary service
refers to the provision of legal advice, information, or any other types of
minimal legal service to an individual upon written request during a formal
interview. Only written requests are included.
The population estimates used to calculate
per capita figures are provided by Statistics Canada, Census and Demographic
Statistics, Demography Division. Populations as of July 1st:
final postcensal estimates for 2005 and 2006; updated postcensal
estimates for 2007 and 2008; and preliminary postcensal estimates
for 2009.
In 2009/2010, the decline in the number
of approved legal aid applications for summary services in Manitoba was due
to removing advice as service in the Winnipeg offices.
No distinction is made between summary and
full service applications in Northwest Territories. All applications are counted
as full service applications.
