Thank you, Mr. Chairman. For the record, Mr. Chairman, I wanted to say that I think it's a wonderful way to encourage the residents of the NWT to further their education and be part of the workforce in a very important career, especially in teaching. I hope that some day we will be able to expand the program to other areas for students who are taking the social worker program, students who are in vocational training and any other areas of careers. I hope when we are able to afford this, we will expand. In fact, there have been some requests.

I received a call from Fort Smith when I was in Pelly Bay over the summer. One of the students who were taking the other programs found out that the government was providing this special assistance to students who are taking the community teacher education program. He was wondering if he was eligible for this. I promised this student that I would bring the matter before the House, and that's what I did. Thank you.
