I could just jump in to add a few words. I don't want to repeat anything that Paul has said and I'm not speaking on behalf of the University of Alberta.
Universities have asked for advice, or at least have indicated that they haven't received it, so the straightforward answer to your question would be that, yes, advice would be welcome. However, that advice, I would hope, would be sophisticated. It would be technically advanced, and there would be a rationale behind it. In other words, I'm a jealous defender of the autonomy of Canadian institutions. I welcome government interference where it's warranted, but it should be soundly based. Yes, dialogue is a must.
