Mr. Speaker, it is galling to most Canadians that despite being awash in money, this meanspirited minority government has axed $17 million in funding to help people who want to learn how to read and write.
In an astonishing display of ignorance, the Senate leader of the government, the Prime Minister's confidante, recently said, “this is not an issue that is receiving much attention from people out there”.
Have any of the government members or senators bothered to meet their constituents and read their correspondence? Is this another case of government members ignoring what they do not like and acting in shortsighted ignorance?
