Mr. Speaker, that is a good question. The answer is that education is constitutionally a provincial responsibility.
We have over the years developed a certain partnership that now exists between the provinces and the federal government with regard to post-secondary education. There was a time before this when federal money was put into vocational high schools in particular. Hundreds of millions of dollars went into that program. The reason it went into vocational high schools at that time was to bring about the educational skills the people needed.
It is the same thing today. We need a partnerships.
