Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for your presentations. I find them all quite informative.
I'd like to start with Athabasca University and Ms. Van Rooijen.
I was interested to hear about your university and the courses you provide online and by distance.
As you know, our government, in Budget 2009, provided a significant amount of money—I think it was over $250 million—to build rural broadband networks across Canada. Is that helpful to your university and your students in reaching out to students in rural and remote areas?
