Today my presentation has been mostly around the reinstatement of the court challenges program and what it should cover, but I fully support our putting some ties into transfer payments that go to provinces.
I think that the government should reopen—and this is a form of access to justice—conversations with provinces and territories and set out what those standards will be because the CAP agreement, in 1966 when it was brought in, helped to standardize poverty across the country. Not that standardizing was good; it's not, but it helped to level poverty out across the country. Since CAP has been removed, we now have poverty in different levels all over the country and we need our federal government to negotiate with the provinces to bring some standards back into government programs and policies. That might even stop us from having to go to the court challenges program for funding because we could handle it in some other way.
