Thank you very much for the question.
You have put your finger on the problem. In order to be able to build capacity and stability in the post-secondary sector, we really need funding that allows us to look ahead, that allows us to plan for five or ten years. That's why it's so important to establish a mechanism that will allow programs to be planned and put in place.
In universities or colleges, it takes a number of years to put programs in place, whether they are undergraduate or graduate programs. It takes that long to plan.
So we're recommending that the mechanism be reviewed from top to bottom, and because these are federal-provincial agreements, that the two levels of government work together to review the mechanism entirely. There is currently money on the table, but the mechanism is not working.
