Thank you. I'll stop you there.
I'd like to go to the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. One thing I've spoken to—and I learned this when I first had the privilege of serving as a member of parliament—is this notion called parity of esteem, which I heard about from the Germans. If someone goes to an institute or a tech or a polytechnic for training, versus going and becoming a lawyer or going into sociology or history, these are all great pursuits in their own right, but it's about encouraging young people to become an auto technician for Mercedes or for some company, which is very high tech, versus maybe going and getting a liberal arts degree, and to have parity of esteem. It is so important that we encourage equality in terms of how we view these things. I think, sometimes, it is a little bit off-kilter these days.
Can you talk about that? Our government has made a large commitment to universities, both on the operating or capital side and for fundamental research, as I call it. Can you comment on that as well, please?
