Let me ask it another way. Surely we can all agree that not only is the Charter of Rights and Freedoms an important law in Canadian society, but that access to that law is an important principle, especially because those who seek to access it are the very people who might be disadvantaged, and therefore they need the application of the charter. Is Treasury Board, then, looking at other ways to help people access their rights and fully enforce their rights under the charter by replacing the kind of assistance they had under the court challenges program?
