Thank you.
In summary, I would say that the court challenges program is very good public policy. It is in the public interest to maintain it and to improve it.
I would conclude by saying that anyone who doubts this statement should look at the history of the cases funded by court challenges. I would defy anyone to say that any one of those results is not in the public interest, because there was enormous progress made for peanuts, as was said earlier. While there was very little investment, the return on investment was huge.
To foolishly destroy this program is not in the public interest and will not benefit Canadians, because racism and sexism and all the other forms of discrimination are not a good thing, and basically the bottom line is that anything that can assist in ridding our country of those negative aspects is a good thing.
