Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I guess we are not here to debate the affirmative action issue. In response to the Minister, I would like to state, how do we know the majority of the remaining number of individuals are not long-time northerners? That was my question. Are long-time northerners eligible for supplementary grants? Because if the long-time northerners who do fall under the affirmative action policy are eligible, why can they not be eligible for this policy for supplementary grants? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
