Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Removing the program itself removes the inequity. The review of the student financial assistance program may identify areas where we can be more helpful and supportive in providing post-secondary financing without it being identified as unfair or unequal. In that context, we are reviewing the manner in which we are providing student financial assistance to students.
The other thing the honourable Member has raised which has not been considered -- and I mentioned it earlier -- is dealing with the issue on a student-by-student basis. I don't personally know the files of the individuals. The staff may be able to identify those areas where present programs can be applied to students. There are some situations where students are not taking advantage of existing programs or are not aware of existing programs. I can advise that, in some cases, students were not aware that they had an opportunity to access our child care program, for instance. They were not knowledgeable about additional housing allowances where economic circumstances require more funding.
Unless we deal with them individually, it makes it very difficult for me to say that we are unable to respond to the concerns. But I do want to say to the honourable Member that it is our intention to address some of the concerns. If we can't then, obviously, we'll have to advise the students that we're unable to at this particular juncture. But I will have a staff member meet with those particular students.
