Thank you for your comment.
You mentioned literacy and community groups. When you say community groups, you also mean immigrant volunteers who assist in integrating new people in community groups. This is a clear demonstration of the fact that, when the federal government announced cuts on September 25, it was the most vulnerable people in our society who were affected.
I agree with you that poverty isn't attributable to just one factor, but rather to a set of factors, but those cuts won't help young and older people break out of poverty. There are other tools and other factors, which you clearly indicated in your various presentations, but literacy is a very important factor. If you can't read or write well, it's virtually impossible to get by in life. You need to read or write every day.
If I hadn't been able to do so, it would have been impossible for me to function. I would never have been able to make any progress if I hadn't been able to read. Young people and parents in our society are unable to read and write, and we leave them to their own devices.
