Thank you, Madam Speaker. At present, there are no other funding arrangements. If the board chose to fund the student, that would have been within their authority. What makes it difficult to me, at this juncture, is we have moved all the operational funds, with the support of Members of this House, into the hands of the directors. As such, we have left that responsibility in their hands. I am not opposed to the idea of additional funding being made available for those students. But the fact is, the policy dictates that is the way in which we administer our finances. That is, through the divisional boards.
