Thank you.
My name is Avvy Go. I'm the clinic director of the Metro Toronto Chinese and Southeast Asian Legal Clinic. We're a community-based legal clinic in Toronto serving low-income non-English-speaking people from the Chinese and Southeast Asian communities.
I'm also a former equality rights panel member of the court challenges program and was first vice-chair of the board of directors of the program when it first became incorporated as a separate entity.
I would like to commend the Government of Canada for restoring funding to the court challenges program, and I want to thank the committee for giving me the opportunity to comment on how to make the program better.
