A lot of the universities, particularly for graduate-level and post-doctoral research, depend on international students to a great extent. They've added a lot of value to our research ecosystem, so I would expect there would continue to be an effort to try to attract talent to universities, not only for the benefits of revenue raising and research at universities, but also as a means to bring talented people from around the world to Canada and hopefully have them stay and contribute to the economy. I don't know if it would necessarily shift programming. There may be a need to look at how to incentivize the top international talent to come to Canada. There are certainly programs that do that today, and we'll likely have to continue exploring how to do that better, as other countries are pursuing the same objective.
