Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I would like to add to what you said, Mr. Murphy. There are two parts because the first version of the Court Challenges Program pertained exclusively to language rights. When the program was re-established, after 1982, that is, after the implementation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the second part was added. The intent was not that one part would be more important than the other. The program developed this way because of historical reasons.
As for your other question, I can tell you that, indeed, there was absolutely no consultation from the government, a department, a minister or even officials regarding our program. We simply received a call, at the Court Challenges Program Office, from the minister advising us that the program would be cancelled as of September 26, 2006, and that no new cases could be funded by the program.
