If you lose under a no-foal, no-fee arrangement, you must pay the costs under the current Act. The Bill before us has a cost mechanism. In many cases, lawyers are going after winnable cases. The Bill will assist in the taking of cases that may be marginal. This could help to improve our environmental system, which is the important part.
