Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank these gentlemen for coming forward and putting forth such succinct and intelligent arguments.
In our country, we have, I believe, the best learning institutions in the world. When you look at some of our universities--Acadia, St. Francis Xavier, the University of Alberta--and even some of our technical training schools--NAIT, for example, and SAIT--they are very advanced across the world. But one of the criticisms I've heard of some of these schools is that they have an inability to quickly change their curriculums to adapt to the needs of industry, needs that industry is currently facing, in some senses.
I would actually ask all three of you to take the time to answer this question. What role do you see some of the private colleges, such as the ones represented by the National Association of Career Colleges, playing when it comes to labour shortages in your sectors?
