Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think what the Minister meant to say was that the former Ministers did not leave him much time to reach the goals they had set. We will leave that alone.

I want to get back to the literacy strategy. We have heard the Minister and the deputy say that this is part of the overall bigger picture. Mr. Miltenberger has asked some questions, and basically asked what kinds of programs would this tie into? Would it involve departmental staff and resources, or NGOs and other service deliverers?

I am wondering if Mr. Ootes can lay out the bigger picture for us as he sees it - give us his vision, as it were, of a literacy strategy and leave us with something to go forward with. I know this is the early stages of this, but I am just wondering if he can give us a broad picture of what he thinks a literacy strategy would encompass.
