Thank you, Madam Speaker. It is difficult to respond to the honourable Member's request. That is not to suggest that I won't be helpful, I will. But, the fact is, on the matter of policy, it has been the decision of this government, and this Assembly, that we will provide programming closer to home, whether it is in Pond Inlet, in Iqaluit or any other community. As a result of that, there has been no identification of financial resources to assist students of the type that the honourable Member has mentioned. That is not to suggest we're not interested, but the fact is, the basis on which the Assembly has allocated the resources does not consider that at all.
