Mr. Speaker, Conservatives are failing to tell the truth about trashing adult literacy programs. They say adult literacy is important, then they cut $17.7 million in what, literacy training.
The Prime Minister brags about $80 million spent on literacy, but wait a minute, that is $17.7 million less than when he started.
The Mike Harris President of the Treasury Board denies ever saying government should not be trying to do repair work after the fact. Then he is caught on tape.
This is a Prime Minister who cuts the heart out of literacy funding at the exact same time his wife is raising charity money for literacy.
When it comes to adult literacy, how can Canadians not conclude that this minority government is failing to tell the truth?
