There is one recommendation that deals with literacy programs. I referred to adult literacy as being quite important. It's recommendation number 22:
The Committee recommends that the federal government sustain strong financial support for adult and family literacy programs, with a special priority given to groups over-represented among high-school non-completers.
This brings us back to what Senator Segal was just talking about. One thing I want to note is that amongst our promising practices is the one called Pathways to Education, whereby the dropout rate in a place such as Regent Park in Toronto went from 56% down to 10%. That was audited. That's a great victory.
I was very happy that the Minister of Finance put in his budget $20 million for Pathways to Education so that we could do the very kind of thing that we said in another recommendation here should be done; that is that it should be spread to other parts of the country, because it's a promising practice that I think can have applicability right across the country to make a big difference. See the Minister of Finance's budget, on page 73.
