Mr. Speaker, we're aware that there are a lot of people who do need literacy training and we are putting in, as I said, the $2 million to the Literacy Strategy. I don't know if that's enough or if we need more money in there. That's something we'll have to look at. We are continuing to deal with the federal government on it. Mr. Speaker, industry has also been a good partner. I think the Member raises a good point today and I think it's one that I'd like to take up on, and that is to talk to or communicate with some of the aboriginal leaders as well and to get them to support us in letters and verbally and so on in getting the federal government's attention on the need for literacy money, particularly in our jurisdiction. So, Mr. Speaker, I'll follow up on the aboriginal leaders. Thank you.
