Mr. Chairman, it seems to me that literacy groups and others who've been affected by these cuts were going along fine, albeit that they were struggling with various things and could use more funding. But all of a sudden they're facing dramatic cuts and are not going along fine anymore. This urgent situation has been created by the decision of the government—not by members of this committee, certainly.
I think it is an important enough matter that it does call for us to interrupt our work. Frankly, I would hope that members from all sides would want to assist in putting pressure on the government to rescind this decision and reinstate the funding for these important programs.
