Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Well, I can't say that. I can say to the Members that there are priority programs in which we've added more resources. There have been reductions, you might say, in the whole area of administration. The overall increase in our budget generally is about $4. For instance, in the case of SFA, it's $3 million. It really depends on how people view this. The other component that is still an unknown factor is the whole issue of social assistance and the use of those resources for post-secondary education. The other thing is the, I believe, $2 million into northern skill development, those are the kinds of things if you start reviewing them, whether or not there's a reduction, an overall increase in the actual assistance to students and therefore better access for students because those dollars are also used for paying for the cost of programs and services that are being offered at the college. That is the kind of stuff that, unless you do an overall picture, becomes very difficult.

I think some of the concerns that we all have is really the uncertainty right now about what will happen with regard to income support programs across the country. I'm the Minister responsible for the general discussions that will go on with the federal government and I'm hoping that we can meet very shortly with Mr. Axworthy so that we can have these general discussions so that we get some sense of security about those resources.
