I think that's a really good question. I think there's a role for both. I believe this idea of trying to accomplish and solve the post-secondary education crisis without the collaboration of the provinces is obviously not the proper route. There needs to be an increased effort by government to come to the table with provincial government officials, to call a first ministers conference on post-secondary, and to go for it. These tax credits, for example, would be going directly to students.
