I think the impacts of the cuts are well known. I won't spend a lot of time talking about the impact; it only makes the job that much more difficult. What I will say to you is in terms of literacy.
I referenced earlier is that we, as a government, now provide textbooks free of charge to all school children in our province from K to 12. We are increasing our grants to community-based organizations that provide literacy training. We are increasing our grants to community-based agencies. We have what are called community youth networks here, and we're increasing our grants to them. They provide homework programs, after-school programs. We are providing more money to our community centres in our social housing neighbourhoods. Most of them have community centres. We've provided extra funding to them over the past couple of budgets—it's a part of our poverty reduction strategy—to be used to run homework havens, to work with the smaller children. We're doing things like that.
Basically, what we're trying to do is talk to the people out there who, as you said, are dealing with the issues, to find out how we can best serve them.
It's not always money, by the way. The other thing I want to make a point on here is that certainly money is a key factor, but sometimes it's simply being flexible or allowing people to be flexible and not having the guidelines too tight so they can't get done what they need to get done. Money certainly is a contributing factor, but there are other ways to assist without necessarily providing money.
Those are only some examples of the kinds of things we've done.
