I think we should.... We don't get these witnesses often. I think it would be appropriate if we--

The Chair Liberal John McKay
I'm in the hands of the committee. As you know, this room has to be available by one o'clock. We do have this motion that Madam Coady has put. I'm happy to run the clock, but the next questioner would be Monsieur Vincent.

That might be a bit more fair for those people who are still waiting to ask questions in this round.

Mr. Chair, since we only have five minutes left, we obviously will not have time to do a second round.
I would like to make a request. Mr. Dicerni told us that the department had invested in infrastructures, in post-secondary teaching establishments, including CEGEPs. I would like to know the breakdown of investments per province.

Okay, thank you.
Thank you for your interventions on behalf of the committee. I appreciate them.
