Canadian Heritage committee  I am happy to answer questions about transparency. In my opinion, it is a question of striking a fair balance. There are three factors. First, we have to share as much information as possible about the management of the program and we have to provide all the information we can.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I thank the committee for this invitation. I wish to first gratefully acknowledge that most of the work of the Court Challenges Program, like that of this committee, takes place on the unceded traditional territory of the Algonquin Anishinabe people. As the program operates bilingually, I will be delivering these remarks in both official languages.
