No, not at this time. I believe there is an overall vision. Earlier it was said that development in this area has to start from the needs of the learners. It must also start from provincial and territorial realities. There is often a literacy and skills development policy framework in every province and territory. And since the provinces and territories are responsible for service delivery, we first have to ensure that our actions are consistent with provincial realities.
Second, no, federal funding is not sufficient in this area. Apart from funding, there is the need for the federal government to mobilize the provinces around a common issue in this area and more particularly around adult francophones. That's the core of the strategy.
In the past five years, $7.5 million has been invested, but only in family literacy. That's not very much and it's often in a single field. Consequently, that has to be opened up.
It is important for the federal government to have an overall policy framework in collaboration with the provinces. The answers are there. We have to ensure we have an investment, a policy framework and community and institutional involvement in development as a whole. You currently need skills in order to find a job.
We obviously also have to have a more comprehensive approach to the communities and families, which we currently don't have. Let's hope the next funding framework will make that approach possible. The Roadmap shouldn't be perceived as an end, but rather as a lever that enables us to go elsewhere.
