The article in Bill C-13 stipulates that the minister provides funding to an independent organization for the purpose of bringing test cases or other important cases before the courts. However, we want the nature of each case to be disclosed in order to determine how the money was used.
The arguments raised would be valid if we wanted the information to be disclosed before or even as soon a subsidy was granted. But we’re asking for the nature of the test cases, for example, to be disclosed once the litigation is done, if it doesn't harm recipients.
At the very least, there should be disclosure about the nature of each case, so that we can know how the money was used and what sector was impacted. Otherwise, it becomes a black box.
