Episode Details

Legal aid lawyers across four Quebec regions are striking this week, demanding equal pay to Crown prosecutors—a battle now in its third year. With offices in Quebec City, Outaouais, Estrie, and Côte-Nord affected, over 200 criminal and youth cases have already been delayed. The government’s latest offer of a 14.5% raise over four years falls short of the 17% boost prosecutors recently received. Lawyers fear prolonged disruption will harm vulnerable clients, urging the government to up the ante before the strike drags on.
