Redeye finds out about the Leonard Doust report, which makes the case that access to our legal system is one of the basic pillars of society along with education, health care and social welfare. Alison Brewin is with Westcoast LEAF and co-chair of the Coalition for Public Legal Services. She says under-funding legal aid affects everyone, not just the people who can't afford lawyers.
