Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have not specifically approached the Minister on that point with regards to student financial assistance. However, I did raise that issue with the Minister of Indian Affairs about the UCEP funding, which again, is a program which is aimed at aboriginal people to allow them to upgrade for university or college entrance and which will not fund upgrading courses for Metis people. I brought up the point that aboriginal people are defined to include Metis and suggested that indicated a broader definition, but was unsuccessful. Indirectly, that approach has been tried and has not worked. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
