Thank you.
Which question do I ask first? I'll start with this one, and it is actually a question for all three of you.
In your brief you talk about the purpose of ASPECT, and I see the first verbs in each line are to facilitate, promote, and coordinate. It strikes me that I've had the sense, particularly with literacy, that some members of the government have a concern that there are groups that are engaging in lobbying and advocacy and don't feel that's directly benefiting the need of improvement in terms of literacy, in terms of actual literacy training.
The question I have for each of you is this. Tell me how would you argue to the government that it's important to have organizations that do advocacy, facilitation, promoting, and coordinating of the kinds of groups that are actually delivering training and other services directly to people?
Why don't we start with Ms. Dutt.
