Mr. Speaker, I have a question for my neighbour, the Minister for Canadian Heritage.
In the speech from the throne the government promised to restore the court challenges program. I would like to ask the minister when this restoration will take place. Will this re-established program cover challenges to legislation which restrict or rescind language rights?
As the minister knows, language rights are essential to many English and French-speaking Canadians and individuals should not be prevented from protecting those rights in court due to a lack of funds.
