Thank you, Mr. Chair. I think the department’s interfacing with the college happens on many levels. It depends on the subject at hand. For example, when the college wants to put on programs, there’s a number of people within the department that would assist the college in

determining programming that we would share research and analysis, and that happens at various levels. When it comes to capital projects, the department would offer advice on the process, on the steps that ought to be taken, but the department at an administrative level would not in any way impede access of the board, or the college board to the Minister to provide unfettered advice and make a pitch for a capital project. The Minister would ask our advice, which we would offer, but we wouldn’t be an impediment in providing the access to the Minister.
