I regret that the government made that decision. I've met with Mr. Allison and some of his colleagues; in terms of literacy policy, I know the government is aware of the importance of literacy. As I said, I'm very eager to work with them to move ahead and to look at a major, significant initiative in our country, and I know my colleagues are too.
The infrastructure in place right now is modest. It is not reaching as many people as it needs to. As I said, I regret that the cuts were made, but I do agree that we need to reorganize the literacy infrastructure in this country, because we're not getting the results we need.
I'm eager to work with the government and with the members of Parliament. I was in British Columbia yesterday, talking to the Minister of Education there. The provinces obviously play a major role, and I think it's important that we look ahead at designing something new--something more effective than, and with more capacity than, the existing infrastructure.
