I'll let Ms. Gauthier answer, but just before that, I want to respond to your two points.
First, the court decision stipulates that the federal government is free to choose whom it will authorize to make submissions to it. That doesn't prevent the federal government from saying that, to make submissions, you have to be a member of your provincial professional association. That's the case of the bar, for example. To plead before the Supreme Court, you have to be a member of the bar of your province, period. As to the question of numbers, if there are 10 immigration consultants in a province, that's not where there are the most problems. I can understand that one might not cover those 10 cases, but that's not where the problem lies.
Ms. Gauthier, what do you think of that?
