You are correct; we had an intentional conversation and understood that there would be some risk in the process.
The truth is that we believed deeply in the program and we wanted to play a role in a very difficult time for Canadians. We were excited about the challenge. We were very proud of the program that launched. We were very proud of the fact that 35,000 students registered within the first 10 days, as Ms. Al-Waheidi shared, 65% of whom were from visible minorities.
We were asked to do this. It's a Canadian charity, born and raised in Canada. We proudly took that step and moved forward with it.
