Is it 5% of more than a billion dollars? Is that what we're talking about? I'm just trying to get a handle on how much you're asking for. I certainly agree with you that education is where we need to spend some resources.
I just came back from China last week as vice-chair of the Canada-China Legislative Association, and you're right that a lot of money is being spent on education there. They're developing very high-tech industries as a result of it. In order to keep our competitive edge, we need to do that. I think that's why our government invested $2 billion this year in the knowledge infrastructure program. I hope that some of your community colleges were able to take advantage of some of that funding and that it was helpful. I appreciate your comments in that regard.
I also have a question for Ms. Smith-MacDonald about social housing. I agree that social housing is very important. As you know, our government has put $2.1 billion into social housing this year. That's an unprecedented investment for the federal government. In my city of Mississauga, several co-op housing developments have received significant grants and funds to help with renovations and retrofits from a safety and security perspective--also energy retrofits. I hope that's been helpful in your area as well.
