Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Member has asked me about preparing students for post-secondary education and having them prepared to leave their homes and still be successful in a larger centre. The student financial assistance forum told me that they heard from a lot of people that there were not enough supports for students. I am not talking in terms of finance, but talking about personal support; counselling and actually making personal contact to help students get through a difficult transition. What the department is trying to do now, is set up a program whereby working with regional offices, we try to identify students who may be in need of support and then follow-up, whether by phone or through personal contact throughout the year to offer additional personal support. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
