Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to highlight the participation of Human Resources Development Canada’s National Literacy Secretariat in the implementation of three projects in the very beautiful riding of Charlevoix.
In Baie-Saint-Paul, the Charlevoix literacy training service will receive $20,000 to develop an information kit on social intervention for staff who work with students who suffer from psychosocial problems.
In Forestville, Plaisir de lire will receive $18,000 to launch a literacy awareness campaign on the North Shore.
In Baie-Comeau, the Maison Alpha ABC Côte-Nord will receive $9,518 to prepare audio report cards for parents who are functionally illiterate.
These three examples demonstrate the determination of the Government of Canada to give all our fellow citizens the tools to full realize their abilities.
