Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I think it is important to note that most students travel to take their education. Not all students travel just to Yellowknife, but a considerable number travel to Fort Smith, Inuvik, Rankin Inlet, Iqaluit, and Cambridge Bay, the regional centres, in order to take their training in northern colleges. Other students travel across Canada to attend university and southern colleges. The program is the same for all students in the Northwest Territories, and the students themselves will have to determine when they need to apply for additional assistance. We do offer programs such as needs-assessed loans, which the student can, after they have used up their grants, apply for. As the name would suggest, that is based on an assessment of the student's needs. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
