Yes.
Again, “Open Doors, Open Knowledg” was something that universities pulled together in the fall to thank government for the knowledge infrastructure program and the tremendous resources they provided to universities and colleges across Canada to build increased capacity in research facilities on our campuses. With $1.3 billion, it really resulted in $3.2 billion in new infrastructure on university campuses across Canada. Again, we're very thankful for that kind of program.
You asked whether universities are going to other communities. There is now a program in Thunder Bay for medical doctors. There's a program at the University of Northern British Columbia, and medicine is being taught in other communities in the north as a result of those new programs. In fact, we're modelling those programs in Canada on programs in places like Australia, where they've had tremendous success in taking similar kinds of medical programs, for which enrolment and degrees have to be constrained because so many students want to get into them, but there isn't a capacity for society to provide all of those opportunities. There can't be as many doctors as students who want opportunities to get into those professions, but we do need doctors and nurses and health professionals and teachers to work in communities around the world. So yes, indeed, we are looking at a couple of models in Canada right now to try to do some of that.
Bringing students onto campus and taking programs to students are other really important things. When we look at the kinds of differences in aboriginal populations across Canada, it's not really a surprise, then, that in western Canada we have some very innovative programs looking at how to bring, attract, retain, and support aboriginal Canadians on our campuses, and also to support them in their communities. So whether you look at the University of Victoria's programs and the suite of programs they put together to support aboriginal Canadians and really increase the graduation rates of those students, or you look at universities in Manitoba or Saskatchewan, all of those institutions are putting together very interesting programs.
Again, it's a matter of finding what's working best in each community, because each community is a little different from the others. It is a matter of finding what works, what works when, and what works how, and then replicating it where it's really useful to do so. I think those kinds of programs, whether for aboriginal Canadians or other under-represented student groups, are really the kinds of models that we're looking to replicate across the country.
