Mr. Chair, adult literacy is very much still within the mandate of the Department of Education, Culture and Employment. This cut was due to fiscal sustainability, but this is an opportunity that we are taking to review adult literacy and basic education across the territory and how that funding was being used. We still have contribution agreements, like I've spoken about on the floor of the House, in the life of this sitting here to NWT Literacy, and then we also do have our literacy fund that are still available to communities and to community organizations, but we will be conducting a review of adult literacy and basic education in the life of this Assembly.
