If I may, I'd say that one of the great advances in post-secondary education in the last 30 years has been the full participation of women in the post-secondary sector. In many cases, in many programs, women are outnumbering and in many cases outperforming men.
So that's interesting to observe. I don't know if there is an underlying sociological reason for that.
If I may, though, I would add that one of our biggest concerns is that there is a lot of discussion about whether we have too many people in PSE, too many people in university. The short answer is no. We need every student who is in the system now to stay in the system, and we need a whole lot more.
Yes, we have a skills crisis for skilled trades. We need to do more on the skilled trades side. But there are job shortages in Alberta right now because of their not being able to find the university grads who are needed for the economic conditions in that province.
With respect to the situation in Quebec, everyone should be concerned that the post-secondary participation rate in Quebec is amongst the lowest in the country. That's a challenge for Quebec. It's a challenge for all of Canada.
