I'd like to echo the comments of my colleagues and thank you all for such interesting and insightful presentations. I'd love to spend a day with each of you, but unfortunately that's not possible.
I'm going to be very focused because I have questions for all of you. If you could keep your answers really brief and to the point, I would really appreciate that. Of course you know that you can send supplementary information to this committee if you think of something later or you come across something that will enrich this study.
I want to start with Ms. Roy, because that is where our youth are starting to branch out, and all of that.
As you may know, I have had seven foster children, one stepdaughter, and twins of my own, so I think that probably makes me the parent in this room who has put the most people through university and watched them and that sort of thing. In addition to that, I've done mentorship for many decades. My colleague across is right that we've been talking about this for a good 20 or 30 years.
Just to springboard off all that, I have some very specific questions.
Ms. Roy, your presentation was fascinating. However, it did not focus very specifically on our subject, which is economic prosperity and leadership. I am wondering with regard to a student body if you capture other aspects. Universities are large. There are all these different sectors and specialties, etc. I don't know if the University of Ottawa has a business school. I don't know if that business school, for example, is tied to the Canadian Youth Business Foundation, to which our government gave $20 million to help youth kick-start businesses. How does a university or a student body, or my daughter who's going to be entering university next year, get that information, support, programming, etc., to find her way through to start her own business?
