The strike comes two weeks after some 200 legal-aid lawyers walked off the job for a half-day

demanding Quebec continues to recognize pay parity, a status that had been established for at least 30 years.

Lambert-Boulianne is calling for the province to take notice, saying the system is facing labour shortages as several young lawyers switch over to the Crown due to better pay. But she said about 15 lawyers will continue to work on high-priority cases that can’t be postponed, such as those involving youth rights and sexual violence.
