There are two areas I would speak to. Although we didn't come prepared to speak about the court challenges program, I would certainly reiterate what my colleague is speaking of.
I would suggest to you that it was a very visionary program. This country has been incredibly visionary, first with having the charter. The court challenges program set precedent, in that it explored new areas we hadn't considered. We have allowed people to come forward and express their concern or take issue with policies and legislation for areas that we many have not have even contemplated.
The most important thing about it was not just that it provided funding to the marginalized, but that it opened new territory and moved us forward as a society. The government should therefore see it as creating opportunity.
Secondly, in terms of how the other cuts affect us, it's a focus on only funding employment outcomes. Programs are becoming so focused that organizations like our own are competing for clients with all the other agencies, because the only thing that is a measure of your success is that at the end of so many weeks, people have a job. All of your preparation, all of your systems support, all of your information services are not funded. You get funded if people are getting a job, but many people need a lot more than that.
