In March 2012, the Coalition for Public Legal Services sent a letter to British Columbia Premier Christy Clark challenging her insinuations that budgetary allocations to the then-Ministry of the Attorney General increased over the previous two years. In its letter, the Coalition presented contradictory evidence gleaned from government statements and documents.

Recently, Minister of Justice and Attorney General Shirley Bond responded to the Coalition challenges with a letter authored on behalf of Premier Clark. The Minister's letter outlines and explains information that challenges, in turn, the Coalition's previous assertions. Read the Minister's letter here.

The Coalition for Public Legal Services is a group of advocates and organizations– including Access Pro Bono– advocating for a universally accessible justice system in British Columbia.
