I would be interested to see non-percentage numbers though. The student body has increased as well, not to mention foreign students who pay higher tuition rates than Canadians. Is that factored into the numbers.
If you have the government supply 8 dollars and a single student 2 dollars the government is supplying 80% of the operating income. If you have the government supply 9 dollars but not you have two students who each pay 2 dollars, the government while supplying more money is also supplying less as a percentage of the operating income (now 69.2%).... Interesting statistics but without context are pretty useless.
