I understand.
Finally, if I could just change gears a little bit, Mr. Dodge, you appeared before Humber College last year and you talked about the issue of education, and in particular, as your remarks were entitled, “Canada's Competitiveness: The Importance of Investing in Skills”.
You said:
We need a system of incentives for continuous learning and upgrading of skills, and an infrastructure that delivers the training. This has always been important. But, as I mentioned earlier, it will be particularly important in the next two decades, as labour force growth in Canada slows.
Clearly, the budget offering $80 for textbooks doesn't seem to meet the mark. What do you believe we ought to be doing in that regard, in terms of encouraging substantive change in the way we're looking at that?
In the same speech you talked about early childhood development, the need to build an excellent infrastructure, feeding it into a school system that effectively teaches basic skills.
The current scenario of the government does not in fact go down that road. It removes us from that very important precept. How are you going to be able to square your comments with the direction of this current Conservative government, which seems to be moving in a 180-degree different direction?
