It's both. If anybody ever tells you that Canada is an aging society, you will say yes. But there's a large young aboriginal population within the country, especially in some parts of the country. The median age is 25, that is, half of them are under 25 years of age. We know they're there, because they are already on my registry, and they are either an enormous opportunity for the country for dealing with some of the demographic and labour shortage issues or they are going to be a time bomb for our cities and our social conditions. Whether we get them basic education and get them into the labour market and participating in the economy really is going to determine which it will be.
