Thank you for the question.
In 2017, when the Conservatives came to power in Ontario, there was obviously an ambition to look at the situation in all sectors and all departments. At that time, Premier Ford's office called a meeting that focused on our university and its sustainability, given our financial challenges. As I said earlier, a few too many years of deficits had accumulated. At one stage, we had money, but at that point, we didn't have any.
Since then, we've been able to turn things around. However, as I said earlier, we've done so mainly as a result of two temporary solutions: the race for one‑time grants to get through the year and a major international recruitment effort.
In 2013, we didn't have any international students. Now, international students make up 60% of our student population. It took a tremendous amount of effort to reach this point. We had to put together a bunch of new services and show a new level of awareness. We're very pleased and very proud of what we've done. However, we've somewhat reached the limits of our ability to respond.
The situation here has always been a concern, as I said, and it remains one. It's fragile. If you add something like the COVID‑19 pandemic or any other unpredictable situation of that nature, it becomes even more of a concern.
