We are now starting to move people out of the main facility so that we can convert to classrooms. When the economy is bad, it's really good for education if we have the space to accommodate it.

Finance committee  I could say something different about last week when we were a college and now we're a university.

Finance committee  Unfortunately, I have only been at MacEwan for seven weeks, and my last stint in education was over ten years ago. I really can't answer the question, but I do know that in the college field—and correct me if I'm wrong here—they concentrate, and so will Grant MacEwan, on the role of teaching.

Finance committee  Thank you for this opportunity. Our president, Paul Byrne, has submitted a written document. Unfortunately, he was called out of town and he's asked me to present his recommendations to the committee. What I'm going to do is just highlight the recommendations and the reasons for them, and then I can answer questions from you.
