--but there may have been some point of law that warranted fighting the challenge that doesn't pertain to whether or not we should lower the residency requirement as a matter of decency. I don't know what the point of law was that the government fought the charter on.
Why didn't we do it when we were in power? I don't know if you recall or not, but we came into a massive deficit. Canadians suffered--we all suffered--getting out of that mess. We had to set priorities, and the residency requirement was something that would be better handled once the deficit was under control.
I mean, there's a list of things that you have to do. I acknowledge we didn't do it. Perhaps we should have, but you can only get so much done.
