Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a comment on the student financial assistance program, resulting in increased enrolment for community teacher education programs. I have received correspondence and phone calls from my constituents who are attending college in Smith. The problem arises there from -- I think this is the area they have a problem -- some of the students who are not in teacher education programs, such as social services and other areas in management, they all have the same type of financial assistance from the government to go to school. They are all aware that the people in the teacher education programs get more funding than they receive and they see that as unfair. The funding from this government should be fair to students. This is the point that has been raised to me. I think all the Members received a copy of a letter from some of the students in that area.

I would like to say that this is a good incentive for the student teachers who are going to be eventually coming out of this program but, at the same time, there is an element of unfairness for the other students who are in the same program. Being an adult student, it's difficult to go back with limited funds. You see somebody getting more money than you are while you're going to school, doing practically the same thing, it's makes it an additional difficulty. I would like to ask the Minister if he is aware of this problem, and has he responded to this problem that has arisen as a result of this initiative of the government? If he has, then what kind of action is he going to take to try to satisfy the other students who are in other programs? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
