Mr. Godin, I have before me a list of some 15 cases that we have studied. We have had the benefit of this assistance of the Court Challenges Program in some 15 cases since 1998, and had it not been for this program, we would not have been able to pay the costs. Even the lawyers who work with us often do so with minimal compensation. Lawyers work with us to prepare our cases, but we cannot ask them to work for free, that is unthinkable. Without the program, it really will be impossible to bring cases before the courts. We simply would not have the means to do so.
