I would just note that the suggestion that the court challenges program has benefited only lawyers is extremely controversial, and perhaps even outrageous. The court challenges program is separate from the pay equity issue in the sense that if a proactive pay equity regime, consistent with the task force recommendations, is enacted, then you have a system whereby the rights-holders have supports through either their union or their workplace, in conjunction with a well-funded, specialized pay equity body. That's why the court challenges program is a somewhat different issue.
