The Province of Manitoba has looked into that exact recommendation. We always hear, when we talk to members of Parliament, that there are jurisdictional issues involving federal funding for post-secondary education and the transfers to the provinces, and we hear about how the provinces want to have control over the federal funding that is there. But what we're concerned with, with the federal funding transfers, is that the province won't be spending it on post-secondary education, or they'll be substituting their own provincial responsibilities to fund post-secondary education in the provinces.
One of the things we hear quite often about federal-provincial jurisdiction is that we have to make it clear that the provinces are part of the federation that makes up this country, and that we can't be debating whether or not or when funding should be allocated to post-secondary; we should first of all be ensuring that the funding is there and then making sure the funding is allocated in the most accountable ways to the provinces, and that's through something like a post-secondary pact.
