Mr. Speaker, I have a series of petitions signed by concerned people in our country calling upon Parliament to reverse its decision and re-establish the court challenges program in its entirety, including the necessary funding.
The court challenges program is an extremely important program that constitutes a unique means of access to the exercise of constitutional rights in Canada.
This program guarantees implementation of linguistic rights of Canada's official language minority communities, including access to education and government services in their own language.
I call upon Parliament to recognize the constitutional rights of all Canadians and re-establish the court challenges program.
