I'm very intrigued for several reasons, primarily because I'm from a rural riding. It's hard for me, because 30% of my riding is not connected via broadband. Last year one of the top students in my riding, in the whole province of Newfoundland and Labrador, was able to do long-distance education, and it was primarily dial-up, the old-fashioned way of getting onto the Internet. I don't know how he did it, but he managed it.
What he missed was the collaborative atmosphere that comes from contact with other students with the same interests. I'm sure that if an opportunity existed for him to be in your school, he would dearly enjoy it, but the problem is that there's just the one centre, and that's why I asked about the funding. I'd like to see economic development agencies get more involved in what you're doing in terms of the collaborative spirit of education.
Is that something you think we should be doing from an economic development perspective?
