"content": "Sometimes, there is a tendency to give a token approach. I would like to encourage that this scheme be truly a legal aid scheme that strengthens existing schemes and takes indigent persons seriously, so that when they proceed to access the scheme, they will be assisted properly. When I was studying in the US, I was honoured to learn that they have gone a step further to ensure that in one case, you can have one lawyer representing different needs of one client. You can have a lawyer representing your psychological needs and another one representing your economic needs. We will someday get there. Before we get there, I would say that this is a step in the right direction. With those remarks, I support and thank the Mover for presenting the Bill."
