Thank you, Mr. Chairman, I'm happy to respond to the question.
The digital national hub that was spoken about today by Diane Bergeron is something which CNIB has been working to accomplish for the past three years. Creating a national solution for library service for people with print disabilities goes back 13 years. It's taken us a long time to get to the point where we are today, which is the establishment of a national hub, in April 2014, to support public libraries in the delivery of library service for people with print disabilities.
The funding being requested is for the first three years of this new organization's life. It would provide it with the financial stability it's going to need to get off the ground and begin the process of building and continuing with the work CNIB has been doing for the past number of years.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
