We would still prefer that the provinces have full control of everything to do with education and, accordingly, the funding. We would be in favour of direct transfers to the provinces and allowing the provinces to decide how to use the funding. This funding should not come with strings attached when it comes to education in general or for the granting agencies. What is more, the granting agencies have recently encountered problems in terms of funding.
However, we commend the fact that investments have been made in post-secondary institutions. This allows us to have better laboratories and facilities. Nonetheless, better facilities without students will not solve the education problem.
