I think it was written on their faces on that day, Mr. Long. This was intended as an investment in our future, and it was something we heard loud and clear from students and student organizations.
It's particularly poignant in the place where we were when we were talking about skilled trades. We are incredibly deficient, unfortunately, in the skilled trades area. We have too many university degrees and not enough Red Seals. We have to change that in a hurry.
I can tell you that nobody is myopic about this sort of stuff. It's not just the three of us here, but our fellow ministers as well. We are all trying to work together to figure out how we get more people in the skilled trades and how we get more people in the workforce to match the trades they have.
One of the ways we can encourage people to take the skilled trades program is to alleviate some of the debt burden for them.
It was such a great day, because everybody there was so excited about the skilled trades.
