Thank you.
Ms. Levesque, Mr. Rae, have you anything to add to that?
Second Vice-Chairperson and Chairperson of Social Policy Committee, Council of Canadians with Disabilities
Yes. If the community is directly involved, we can work together with other equality seeking groups. I believe we've done that in the past. I have full confidence that a range of cases will be selected that do have national implications, and certainly, if the make up of the program is nationally focused, so that all parts of the country are represented, no part of the country should feel disadvantaged. That is a possibility. Cases from all parts of Canada need to be given equal consideration, and with the community involved, I am confident that will happen.
