What we would say in response is that with the court challenges program, in its former incarnation on the equality rights side and today with the language rights program, lawyers already contribute a significant amount of pro bono and what we call “low bono”, which is when you receive lower fees than you normally would be able to and need to subsidize those from other work. That has always been a significant component of the program. We say that should continue to be the case, but at the same time the cases are very expensive, increasingly so, especially complex ones. There needs to be a sustainable financial and other support there, along with whatever pro bono support is provided to ensure that, as you say, the program can breathe life into the rights in the charter.
