That's exactly it. It's funny, because we're also going to roll out a remote version of the program next year. We're experimenting with how you could actually develop the collaborative aspect online and how you could develop it in a different way.
I really believe that's the future. I met yesterday with the executive director of the congress of social sciences and humanities, and he was talking about the digital strategy and how to get money. I said, “You know what? You need to focus on how Lakehead University can actually participate in a conference with Memorial. You need to focus on these long-distance collaborations.” If you can work out these long-distance collaborations and get that intense collaborative spirit, I actually think we would dominate the space.
I worked at CBC for many years, and the one thing we used to dominate was long-distance communication. Now I think we have the potential to dominate in long-distance collaboration, if we could get Cisco to reduce its prices a bit.
There is a huge potential. Canada is a very big country with very few people. If we could apply some economic development funding to the technology to do this distance collaboration.... Vancouver is the most expensive place to live in this country. The reason we don't get more students is that it's too expensive for them to come. If we could democratize that a lot and get this collaborative leading-edge thinking, I think we would dominate.
