I just said that a few billions of dollars annually is the cost of sexual assault in this country. The cost is obviously much amplified when we look at the indirect effects of racism and of being aboriginal in this society, etc. It all has an economic cost.
When you compare billions of dollars to the $2.75 million annual cost for the court challenges program, it's a drop in the bucket. But it was a very important drop in the bucket. There is no other mechanism in place still that will assist women and minority groups to achieve justice and equality. That's my first point.
Number two—my final point—is about what we would do if it were brought back. What I would want to see, if it were re-established, is that there be some mechanism by which, if a court challenge succeeded under the program, there would be a requirement that the legislation that was in error be changed. That would increase the positive effect upon all Canadians.
Thank you.
