The Advisory Group is made up of representatives of provincial and federal governments, legal clinics, the trusts and estates bar, community advocacy organizations, a research centre and financial institutions. The role of the Advisory Group is to provide advice on the issues raised by documents released in this project, provide input into the consultation strategy in this project and provide feedback on the impact or effectiveness of potential LCO recommendations.
