Yes, sir, but you must understand that we follow the rules set out in the Contribution Agreement. Under this agreement, there are many, many rules and provisions to ensure that public monies are spent transparently and in compliance with the requirements. I must say these choices are not made by the Court Challenges Program, but are imposed by the Contribution Agreement with the federal government . In fact, everything from photocopies to other services is determined ahead of time.
To address your initial comments, I can assure that as an ordinary citizen, if either Hezbollah or the Hells Angels asked me to meet with them to talk about the Court Challenges Program, I would also decline.
