Perfect.
That's why I'm asking. We do know how much goes towards official languages. I realize the other category is human rights, but we also know indigenous rights are distinct in and of themselves, so I think that this differentiation.... The limited scope of this bill has been identified as an issue by legal advocates such as Cindy Blackstock, so it would be important to know how important the Court Challenges Program has been for first nations, Métis and Inuit peoples and groups. That breakdown would be very useful for our committee, and certainly for parliamentarians.
The Department of Canadian Heritage funds the Court Challenges Program 100% through contribution agreements. It's funding that's divided between two branches: human rights and official languages rights. You referenced how much money was announced in budget 2023, but we know that every year a number of worthy applicants are not funded, not because they didn't qualify but because the program is underfunded, which is certainly a point of concern for us.
How does this work? You've spoken of criteria. Does it work on a first-come, first-served basis? How do you decide which worthy applicants are rejected?
