Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank the witnesses for being here.
Mr. Jensen, I'd like to start with a couple of questions to you. From 1984 to 1993, during Progressive Conservative governments, 24 equality rights challenges were brought before the Supreme Court. Of those, nine had party or intervenor status and were funded by the Court Challenges Program. The vast majority of those were successful.
I think these are important things to note, because I would argue that had those challenges not been funded, they would never have seen the light of day.
Could you briefly give me your assessment of what the impact would be had programs like those, in that era, not had the funding from the CCP to advance equality rights?
