I am unable to give a definitive answer to that question now. Mr P.D. Omodei : You sent a circular around. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : Yes, but the member for Peel has gone. I realise that there are entitlements for people to access some financial support for legal representation at the CCC. I do not know whether all those people are included in that, Leader of the Opposition.
