There are two points. The first is that, when you have limited resources within the Department of Justice to spend on making sure the laws are compliant with the charter, my recommendation is that you spend the money here in Parliament rather than in the courts. That's the first point.
The second point is that when you do spend money, for example, in a case where, if you had a charter challenges program similar to the language program.... In British Columbia there were some challenges based upon very thin evidence. The Government of British Columbia has spent probably millions of dollars defending against a case where there wasn't a lot of evidence. So if the federal government does put some money out there for lawyers, lawyers are going to take it and run. You need to keep in mind that there are cost consequences to everything you do.
My position is based upon my view that this is where you should make those decisions if you're going to spend the money, and yes, that means I'm opposed to any program. That's why I can live with the limited Supreme Court of Canada view, because I'm of the view that there should be no program.
