Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think if students were informed in September that there is a strong likelihood that they would be receiving additional funding in January, I do not think they would mind waiting a couple of extra days to receive that funding if they do not have to pay an additional $1,000 out of their own pocket for their tuition, or however much it is. I would strongly recommend that we try to implement this in January, if at all possible. We are supposed to try and help the students and if it is a little bit of a struggle administratively, then we should be able to try to solve that problem. We have almost a year to do it. If we know that the legislation is going to be passed, we should be able to put some extra measures into place to ensure that things can go smoothly. Thank you.
