Well, Mr. McCallum, I believe it's really important to get student aid right, and I think putting the money directly into the hands of students is an effective way to promote efficiency in the student aid program.
On the other question, there is a consummate need for us to get more resources from all levels of government directly into the universities to enhance the quality agenda. I think you put your finger on a major concern—that is, that federal transfers, while appealing, may not ultimately find their way into the hands to which they were intended by the federal government. I regard that as a major concern. It's something we have been working on for a number of years, as you know.
My own view is that higher education, especially as it's linked to the economy and to the future prosperity of our country, is too important to be left for the federal government to have a limited role, as it is to research and student assistance. I believe it's very important to have a national post-secondary educational priority, for the federal government to have a strong voice in helping provinces set national standards and national priorities.
