There's a well known saying that if it isn't broken, don't fix it.
If it's not broken, don't change it.
In our area, over the past 20 years, the Court Challenges Program has been essential in establishing our community infrastructures. Without that program, we probably wouldn't have any schools. We certainly wouldn't have been able to have the communities' point of view heard before the Northwest Territories Supreme Court: we simply wouldn't have had the means to do so. The role of the program was to help those who did not have the means to plead their case. These are extremely important issues that affect a citizen 's integrity.
Therefore, why look for something else? The program proved that it was able to see justice done and that it was effective in providing small communities access to justice within the Canadian democratic system. The results are there. A context was created where actions are measured in terms of their results. In fact, projects must be evaluated in terms of results. I think that that program led to very important results. In our case, it was essential. We could be creative and call it something else but that won't change the fact that what is fundamental is that the least powerful be given the means to see justice done in Canada, within this democratic system that we are so lucky to have.
