Regardless of whether it's the Official Languages Act or another act, I wouldn't want a repeat of a situation in which the program or policy would be cancelled by a regulatory decision. I think the Court Challenges Program is essential for the communities. I've used it. I led the lawsuit for the FCFA when the Court Challenges Program was cancelled. In my view, that essential program helped develop the right to equality and language rights in Canada. It must be maintained. If we did that by providing for it in an act, a debate in Parliament would be required to abolish it.
