I want to add a comment, since our school board benefited from the Court Challenges Program. Clearly, this is an extremely important tool, if only financially or as moral support when making our demands and with regard to how the application of the legislation is interpreted. That said, if the program was ever restored—I don't know whether you are aware of how high legal fees are these days—I can tell you that past rates would be much lower than the rates that lawyers are commanding these days.
I simply wanted to make that comment. In some ways, this loss will hurt less if, in fact, financial aid represents approximately 5% of court costs, even when going before the Court of Queen's Bench in a particular province.
My second comment is this: I want you to know—although this is not my area of expertise—that I read in Le Franco, our francophone newspaper in Alberta, that currently with regard to the Caron case, the Government of Alberta is challenging the fact that the Constitution does or should ensure the development of the francophone community. This gives you a good idea of what we are facing at the provincial level and the prevalent mindset with regard to francophone rights.
