Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Let me first state that I think that this is a very good discussion to have and a good question period to have today to focus on literacy and adult basic education here in the Territories.
I want to emphasize the need for us to address the whole issue of the need that is out there. It extends from early childhood through our school system and into the workforce. Literacy is an extreme problem here in the Territories, Mr. Speaker.
