I could add that geographic distribution was an important consideration under the old program and is under the current language rights program. We can't have all equality challenges coming out of Toronto or Montreal. There have to be some cases coming from across the country. I think that's an important public policy objective, as a federation.
I think there is a link there, Mr. Bittle, with Mr. Rankin's question. Advance cost awards would be certainly a second best because government can't ensure that geographic objectives, for example, are taken into account. If government takes the lead with the court challenges program, then it can better control where that money is spent and include or impose parameters as to how that money is spent. If it's advance cost awards, then government is always responding, and I think that's not an advisable way, or it's too much of a risky way, to try to implement public policy.
