Court Costs and the Public Interest

Les Amis is informed that it must pay the Federal Government (Attorney General) $5,000 for the government's costs because of our Appeal to the Federal Court and Leave for Appeal to the Supreme Court.

We have no money but they insist we pay, meaning bankruptcy for Les Amis, a non profit river preservation organization based in Quebec.

The court case fought to the limit of the law was fought to preserve the Kipawa River, something done in the public interest. Nobody in Les Amis benefited from this, it took countless volunteer hours to mount the challenge.

Does anybody see a problem with this?

Does anybody care?

WTF?
