We don't violate laws and we don't challenge them. The laws exist for our protection. We took the provincial government to court. The Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages offers us no protection from decisions made by our province. We had to take our province to court, not the federal government. The province couldn't build Francophone schools in Prince Edward Island or had chosen not to do so.
We always had access to justice, but the community didn't have the financial means to go to court. It cost thousands and thousands of dollars to appeal to the Supreme Court. The community of 6,100 Francophones in Prince Edward Island would never have been able to afford that. The court exists, but if you can't afford it, you don't get schools.
Without the Court Challenges Program, I very much doubt that we could have gotten our schools in Prince Edward Island. Yes, there's a commitment from the federal government, but if the province has no obligation to grant us funding, nothing's possible. When you transfer money to the province, there's no language clause or anything written stating that a particular amount must be used for the Acadian and Francophone community. Sometimes the province can't afford to allocate that money to us.
Prince Edward Island is the province with the largest deficit. It's not always a lack of will: it's inability. So we need federal government support in order to have the same rights as all other Canadians in the country.
