Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to both of the witnesses for the important work that you do and for reinforcing the call that Conservatives have been making to reverse the proposed discrimination against students based on the kind of institution they're studying at.
It certainly doesn't make sense to me at a time when we're dealing with skill mismatches as part of the challenges contributing to youth unemployment that we would rule out grants to anyone studying at a career college at the same time as offering those grants to anyone studying in any program at a university.
Making distinctions that have nothing to do with labour market needs and are instead focused on institution type, I think, is a big mistake. It goes in the wrong direction. We need to be giving esteem to all careers and encouraging young people to look at the labour market and to consider careers that are in accordance with the needs of the labour market, rather than making decisions based on the esteem of the type of institution. I think that's what I hear you saying, and I thank you for raising these points.
Ms. Love, I want to start with you. In the context of the youth unemployment crisis we're talking about, there have been instances of skill and training mismatches. What I hear you saying is that dental hygiene is a career where there is demand, especially in remote areas. For young people thinking about careers that are going to lead to employment, yours is one area they should be looking at because of the demand in the market. Is that correct?
