Thank you. I thought you would say that. I guess I wanted to hear that.
The second issue is about colleges doing more research. I have a friend who used to work in politics, and then, as he tells me, he got into an honest living. He went to NAIT, which you now very well, obviously, in northern Alberta, in Edmonton. He took construction engineering. He actually works for Bird Construction and is a very proud employee of yours. But I think what he and perhaps others would argue is that NAIT now has such a demand that, in fact, they're turning students away who want access to teachers, who want to address one of our fundamental challenges, which is the shortage of skilled labour in Canada.
I take your point about applied research. Colleges obviously do that well, and we should direct some funding there. But there is a caution I would give about getting colleges too far away from their bread and butter, which is what they do very, very well—that is, training skilled labour for the shortage we're going to have. So how do we ensure that we're not turning away students? The concern from some at the university level, especially in the liberal arts, is that we focused a lot of money on research at the expense of teaching.
Could you address that briefly?
