Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Ms. Beaulieu, you said earlier, in your presentation, that as far as you were concerned the courts were the best authority for defending the rights of francophone minorities.
Ms. Pilon, you said more or less the same thing when you stated that, in your case, the courts were your last recourse and that the parents had never lost their cases. Several hundreds of cases have therefore been won before the courts.
When the Conservative government decided to abolish the Court Challenges Program, it justified its action by saying that it should no longer fund lawsuits that went against the government and that, at any rate, it would never introduce unconstitutional legislation, in this case legislation that would hurt minorities.
As far as this affirmation is concerned, do you trust the government?
