As I said earlier, the process is somewhat anti-democratic, because when governments appear in court against us, to counter our challenge, our belief that they are not complying with their own legislation, they have vast resources. It's like David against Goliath. We have no resources. So if we don't have support, like the support we had with the Court Challenges Program, to do our research, and prepare arguments as one has to do when presenting them before the court, the whole process becomes very unfair and anti-democratic. Why can the federal machinery of government use taxpayers' money in fighting its own citizens, when we, who are on the other side, have no access to the same means? That is unfair. We need justice and fairness so that we have the instruments we need to defend our rights and ensure that, in practice, we can actually exercise them.
