Sure.
The funding will increase from $350 million to $430 million over five years, I guess it is.
But I just want to say a little bit more about this. The Canadian Federation of Students did come out strongly in favour of what we're doing. Here's what Jen Hassum said. She said, “The new system ensures that the money will go directly into the pockets of the students who need it the most.” And we had someone from Carleton University, Feridun Hamdullahpur, the provost and vice-president of academics, who congratulated the federal government “for taking really good, solid, long-term initiatives to ensure higher education is affordable to all Canadians”.
I heard that across the country. Not only did they thank us on that side of it, but they also thanked us for the huge investment in the granting councils—$80 million going into the granting councils—the Vanier awards, these kinds of things, which will help us attract some of the brightest people from around the world to our universities. That's not only important for students, but obviously for the impact people like that have in terms of making us more productive as a nation, creating new ideas and new innovation. It's difficult to place a price tag on that. But I think it's a pretty good sign of how dedicated we are to ensuring that we meet that goal of creating the best educated, most flexible workforce in the world.
