I'm not sure how long you've been working in the Court Challenges Program. Obviously, as you've indicated, many others, including the University of Ottawa, are involved.
We know that multiple committees and civil society have recommended that the government enshrine the Court Challenges Program in legislation in order to enhance its sustainability and, very importantly, to ensure that any cancellation would require the approval of Parliament.
In your experience, from what you've heard from applicants and those involved in overseeing these applications, what would be the effect for justice-seeking groups if a future government were to cancel the Court Challenges Program?
