我给Tim和Lorne每人发了一封email，Tim在10分钟之内回了， Lorne还没有回。
Tim的回信：
I do not intend to organize a class-action lawsuit but I expect that someone else will. If so, I'll just tag along.
The problems with a class-action lawsuit are:
1. everyone in the class, not just the litigants, gain the same benefit;
2. because the class is too large -- 280,000 -- CIC can't process all the files within a year.
Thus, it would only be a restoration of the status quo; i.e., indefinite warehousing.
3. as everyone gets the same benefit, those who pay to join have wasted their money, and I don't want to tell people to pay me when those who do not get the same benefit.
Finally, until Parliament cancels the old files, there will not be a class-action lawsuit. In the meantime, I hope that our litigation will have had a decision. (After the Court formally sets the date, I will file a motion, asking the Court to forbid CIC from closing any of the litigants files so long as our litigation is before the Court.)
Tim的意思是，他不想做这次集体诉讼，他的理由是：
28万人都会获益，不参加起诉和参加起诉的效果一样。
因为这个集体太庞大了，有28万人，CIC不可能在一年之内处理完案子。
必须等到CIC作废了Pre-C50案子，集体诉讼才能开始进行。
去年参加起诉的人，也许会在CIC作废之前法庭给出结果。
如果CIC作废在前，法庭开庭在后，就没戏了。
但是Tim近期会向法庭发起提议，要求禁止CIC作废去年参加起诉那一批人的案子。
