Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today we have heard over and over again on the great service that the NWT Literacy Council provides us in the Northwest Territories, building capacity in our communities through community-based training, professional development, community outreach, northern application learning resources, and research projects, Mr. Speaker. We have also heard, Mr. Speaker, over and over, that this government cannot or will not commit to saving this valuable resource. As I said in my Member's statement, Mr. Speaker, this issue is not about me. It's about the communities. This is very personal, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to ask the Premier, what has this government done to date to convey to the federal government our strong opposition to the recent literacy cuts? Mahsi.
