Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment Programs. I know there is a plan to get rid of the student financial assistance board. This was a recommendation which I think has been followed through on. Is there any plan to reduce the level of student financial assistance in any of the categories as outlined in the act?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to indicate to the honourable Member that the matter of the student financial assistance is now under review. We have not made any final decisions on this particular matter. I am conducting a review at present to assess whether we are over-funding, or whether there is a need to re-assess the

funding levels which are being provided in all categories.
