I'm not sure what the federal government can do. I mean, at the provincial level it is changing. You can see it in the statistics. That is to say, the dropout rate has been steadily declining over the past 10 to 15 years. The participation rate has been climbing for those who attend college and university and trades.
So I think there are changes going on, but I don't think it's fast enough, because we're in a much different economy than even 30 years ago or 20 years ago. It's much more sophisticated. Grade 12 is just simply completely inadequate.
I tell my own students, if you don't go on to college or university or trades, you'll be in the bottom two quintiles, I think, for the rest of your life. The data is very clear. In the slides I've provided to the committee, you will see the data. It is StatsCan data.
