Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I welcome that commitment that family literacy will indeed have a place in the Skills for Work programs that are considered.
I think Mr. Miltenberger mentioned this government needs to move towards having a broader literacy strategy. He responded to a question that you asked, Mr. Chairman, last Friday in the House about literacy. He responded saying that the department has been considering a directive on adult basic education and literacy. I would like to ask the Minister if there has been any consultation with groups like the literacy council on the directive that is under consideration? Will this directive in fact tie a government-wide initiative together?
