Mr. Speaker, over nine million Canadian adults need enhanced literacy skills to succeed in our society. First the government called these adults “fat to be cut” and now it is calling them “repair work” that can be ignored.
Despite misleading answers in this House, the government does not even believe that fighting adult illiteracy is worth one dollar per Canadian per year.
Canada's literacy movement has told us that these cuts have devastated local on the ground literacy projects.
When will the government reverse its shortsighted cuts?
