There may be a very significant decline in the number of court challenges based on language rights.
It would be important to emphasize as well that language rights, even though they often apply to individuals, are collective rights. They're for the community as a whole. When an individual is asked to institute proceedings or a challenge, it's the collective aspect that is overlooked.
In the case of services, there's always a problem when an individual is prepared to pay $100,000 for a challenge, when the impact is in fact collective and affects the Francophone community as a whole. It's somewhat the equivalent of what, in economics, is called a free rider, hence the need for a public policy. Funding is warranted in these circumstances. That's economic language.
The reasoning is that language rights are collective rights. Without the Court Challenges Program, there'd be a very significant decline in the number of court challenges.
