I totally agree, not only because the program funds cases, policies, and laws that are current, but also it's consistent with what this government promised before the election, to make the government accountable. That's what this program is all about, making the government accountable.
We do that using the court challenges, to enforce the Charter of Rights and Freedoms that all of us enjoy. These rights will only exist on paper if we have no means of enforcing them.
Unfortunately, as you said, it's very true: if you are a minority group, where do you get the funding? Where do you get the resources to launch a charter challenge? This is not a program that benefits lawyers, this is a program that benefits Canadians. It's certainly inconsistent with what the government truly believes in to eliminate programs that make the government more accountable.
