I think we'd both agree with that. I think one of the issues with that is the constitutional issue of where education lies and the various sectors that are responsible for it. On-reserve aboriginal communities are federal. Off-reserve is provincial. Youth education is provincial, and new immigrants.... You know, there are a lot of issues around where it lies. If there's a national literacy strategy that overrides all of that, and the provinces and community organizations and municipal governments see themselves in it, I think that would make the most sense. I worry about a strategy that's held with the federal government only.
