In terms of attracting foreign students to Canada, the biggest single gap is a lack of federal investment at this point in time. In my estimation, all of the other foundations for a successful effort are in place. All the key stakeholders are aligned and working in partnership. There is very good federal-provincial cooperation, which has resulted in a first round of funding with an Imagine Education au/in Canada brand. There is an investment on the part of institutions across the country in this effort. But at the federal level, the investment has been $1 million per year.
