"Canadians are called upon to make increasingly complex financial decisions at an ever-younger age. It is important that we provide all Canadians with the financial knowledge and skills they need at every stage of their lives. This will have a profound impact not only on the individual''s financial well-being, but also on our entire economy."
-Kevin Sorenson, Minister of State (Finance)
"Our goal is a Canada where every Canadian has the knowledge, skills and confidence he or she needs to make responsible financial decisions. We want to hear from Canadians so that we better understand the information and tools they need to make financial literacy a reality for all."
