I appreciate the opportunity to speak to that.
There is a myth about Canadian seats being lost to international students. We've done the calculation, and it's been verified by the Auditor General of Alberta. In terms of the work that SAIT does—I manage about a $75-million level of activity out of a $300-million budget—it provides 1,000 seats for Albertans, bottom line. It's a pretty straightforward calculation. We acknowledge that we do run a relatively expensive model in terms of how we operate things. In applied education, there's a little bit of time on the board and a lot of time in the lab. It's a hands-on type of thing. It's a costly model. But that's 30 cohorts for SAIT, and roughly 10% of our staff as well, who would be at risk if we didn't have that.
It is important to recognize, too, that industry is asking us to globalize our education and our curriculum. We have a very strong inclusivity and diversity program at SAIT. Our students now get exposed to international cultures as part of their curriculum. That's what industry is demanding, and that's why we have the success that we do with our job placements.
I appreciate the question on that.
