Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Let me thank all of you for coming this morning and providing us with a lot of very valuable and detailed information. You've obviously done a lot of homework. Clearly these are topics you know well, but you've also done some work in preparing your presentations, and I know we all appreciate that.
Let me start by talking about literacy for a moment, and asking you, Ms. Cairns, if your group was consulted by the government before the cuts were announced. Do you know of any other group that was?
