As anyone who's been to graduate school knows, it's a challenge, and certainly it's helped along when you do have mentors, who provide assistance of the kind you've provided. I think that's a great contribution you were able to make.
You'll forgive me for asking the question, but it does have to be asked. It's been asked of others who have appeared at committee recently on this issue, but let's confirm it. In your interactions with students and with other colleagues at the Trudeau Foundation, was there ever an effort made, an obligation put forward that the students had to live up to a certain ideological predisposition or anything along these lines? Was an open attitude taken with respect to choosing the students who would be mentored, or did they have to be liberals? Did they have to be on the centre-left of the spectrum, anything along these lines?
