Thank you. Mr. Speaker, it's an incentive loan and if the program is not completed, it's repayable, I believe. It's also needs assessed, based on the student.

The other component to it is that it was a decision that was made on a policy basis that this particular program would be only applicable to students who were part of the community teacher education program. It was just a continuation from primarily the last government, with a view that we were proceeding to 50 per cent teachers in our system.

I'm aware of the letter. I did write back to them on February 15th. I was advised that I was not prepared to answer, but the fact was I did answer. The unfortunate thing is that, based on the financial situation of our government, we don't see an opportunity to increase.

However, as I indicated on that particular issue, unless we see a student-by-student concern, it would be very difficult for us to say we can respond to more funding or no funding. And so, what I have asked on Friday, is to have one of my staff members actually meet with the students to see whether or not there is a situation where there is a significant requirement, whether or not our present programs would be able to address some of their concerns.
