Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It is difficult to see exactly where we are here in relation to the previous year because the previous year has the total budget for the east and the west. Could the Minister indicate if the college is receiving similar funding to last year less or more?

Mr. Chairman, could I ask the Minister to repeat that? I had to put my earphone on because he does not quite speak loud enough.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to make a motion. Mr. Chairman, as noted in the Budget Address by the Minister of Finance, the government intends to provide funding to support the continuation of the Working Together Program by providing wage subsidy for employers to hire students and youth and help them acquire the essential skills necessary for securing meaningful and lasting employment. Therefore, I move that the amount of $1 million be added to the operations and maintenance, main estimates of the Department of Education, Culture and Employment programs under the activity, advanced education and careers, grants and contributions, contributions to provide funding to support the continuation of the Working Together Program.

Mr. Minister, I wonder if I can draw to your attention, the motion may be more appropriately made on page 9-14 rather than under this item, under contributions instead of under grants. Additionally, Mr. Minister, if we could have you take your seat in the chamber. We are on page 9-13,
advanced education and careers, grants and contributions, grants, $8.653 million. Agreed? Mr. Erasmus.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This particular area is almost one and a half million dollars less than last year. Could we get an indication of why?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The number is down because there was no projected growth in this particular area that was anticipated. The program has not changed. As was indicated in the business plan, there was less of a subscription to student grants. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just wanted to clarify when the Minister would be moving on the revision of the student financial assistance that is available to students. I know we have addressed this before, but I just wanted to clarify because we are still getting complaints from students. Many of them are now are just getting back and they are saying how difficult it is to get through the school year when the tuition allowance we provide is a lot less than what the tuition actually costs.
