I think that the Canada student loan program is working reasonably well. I think we should in some sense be quite pleased about that.

In terms of training, HRSDC's information programs are good. They're perhaps not excellent yet, but I know there's a lot of work under way to provide labour market information, and I think there are some real moves being made. I think the changes that have been and are under way on the immigration side are quite positive. I think there are some real solutions there to some real problems.

So I think there are a number of good things, either in progress or operating, at the moment.
