Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Member is correct that our living allowance given to a student is a little bit lower than that of the Indian and Northern Affairs program; but I would like to point out that even though the living allowance we provide to students is lower, we have other programs that the federal government does not provide, such as a housing allowance, and emergency child care. If the students have children, we provide them with assistance for child care and a living allowance which the federal government does not provide. Our program, in total, is quite a bit richer than that of the federal government. Thank you.
