Mr. Chairman, I only have five minutes. I really like you, but perhaps you could table this letter with the committee, and we can send a copy to both ministers, if they have not yet received it. We will do that for you, Ms. Lalonde.
Ms. Boucher said that she was sad when she met you, but I can tell you that we were also sad that we could not be here the first time to meet with you. I am sad that you were forced to come back again. The francophone minority—I know that people don't like the word “minority”—was forced to come to Ottawa three times to speak to the same issue.
Legal aid is not available for communities. I hope that they will understand. It would have been better for the government to study the issue before eliminating the Court Challenges Program. But no study was done. It was a impulsive decision. Baird himself told the House of Commons that the government would not give money to people to challenge the government's own laws. Let's tell it like it is. That's where the problem lies. It's a setback for francophone communities outside Quebec. It's a setback for Quebec's anglophones. It is a setback which is completely unacceptable. That is the message we must send the government.
Do you agree with me?
