Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, we will certainly do the assessment, but just to make Members aware that much of the additional costs are associated with students who are actually in communities. In particular, Lac La Martre and in the Beaufort/Delta -- McPherson, Aklavik, Tuk -- those kinds of situations where the costs of living are higher. That is not to suggest, though, that the concern that has been raised is not a legitimate one; it's an important one for us to consider and I will certainly take the suggestion that has been made by my honourable colleague, on assessing the importance. It is a strategic issue, made in 1991, that that would be the direction. We are just following up on that particular direction.
