I think it's true that you've seen the shift from funding post-secondary education at the core level, which is to the institutions, to more targeted funding, which is research and the student assistance side.
Our organization supports the Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation and supports the work that is being done to give student financial assistance to those who need it, and giving it right to the student rather than by way of the province and then down to the institution. But there needs to be a commitment from the government in funding it at both levels--at the institution, because there are institutional costs that are not being met that need to be met in terms of deferred maintenance and in terms of the quality of our programs and our facilities, and that's extremely important, but then there is also getting the student in the door. You can't just do one and not the other. I think you have to do both.
So our organization would look at having the government, as a commitment, invest in both areas--continue the investment in the individual student, but then also on the side of the institutions.
