University and college entrance, funding for assistance to status Indian and Inuit students. Is this $342,000 all of the funding that we get from the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs to cover Indian and Inuit students for post-secondary school?

Does the department have a number for the total funding received from the federal government for educating Indian and Inuit people?

Mr. Chairman, no, because this is part of the funding formula agreement that we get from the federal government. This is over and above the funding formula that we received, that is specifically $342,000.

I hope this amount is not the only amount available for Indian and Inuit students for post-secondary, once we reach say 10 students, and this budget is finished, I hope that does not mean there is a quota on Indian and Inuit students.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think maybe the Minister has answered my concern here partially, but there is a figure here of assistance to studies, Indian and Inuit students enrolled in college or university for $342,000. He mentioned that it was calculated through some sort of funding formula. How many status Indian and Inuit students are we talking about here? Thank you.

While my officials are looking for actual details and numbers, this is a College University Preparation Program, but we fund the actual university courses, under student financial assistance fund. This one is just for the preparation work, Mr. Chairman.
