I think what Maître Aucoin said is a very important point: that all governments in Canada have a primary responsibility to try to ensure the full promotion of constitutional rights—all of them. They can do it, obviously, without being brought to court to do so—and that's the primary way. But the only way to clarify the extent of these rights and for the legal doctrine on rights to develop is by pronouncements of the court. So I don't think there's any way to move forward on that front without a program like the court challenges program.
