There is a desire at Simon Fraser University to get involved in cooperation and courses. There seems to be an incredible desire to offer training in French. I'm not saying that's not the case of the other universities represented here.
As regards cooperation, it was said that student stays in francophone environments should be funded in part by the federal government, regardless of the parents' financial means. That's an interesting suggestion.
Even if the political parties don't have the same vision of early childhood development—I don't want to have a debate on that this morning—the fact remains that the government can promote the development of children from zero to five years and invest in the future.
Providing financial assistance to students who want to stay in other francophone regions represents an investment in the future. I'm not talking about stays in other countries because, as you'll understand, I'm limiting myself to Canada. If a student wanted to go and stay in Edmundston, in my region, where the campus of the Université de Moncton is located, could he receive financial assistance?
Simon Fraser University has entered into agreements with other Quebec universities, but I haven't yet heard the same thing of the Université de Moncton, in New Brunswick. I hope that could be done at some point.
Would it be a major option for the federal government to provide financial assistance to students wishing to go and study elsewhere for a semester or a full year, regardless of their parents' financial means? Ultimately, as someone said, we might have a chance to keep them here when they come back.
