Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are directed to the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, and they are in relation to the directive on literacy and adult basic education that the Minister has indicated is in the works and is about to be completed, hopefully in the not too distant future.

Mr. Speaker, there is an assumption by just about everybody that when I am talking about literacy, we are talking about English. My question to the Minister is regarding the directive. Given the fact that we have eight official languages, will this directive encompass and recognize the fact that literacy is an issue in all our languages? Thank you.
