Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This fall, many of my constituents applied for adult basic education at Aurora College campus here in Yellowknife. Ninety applications were received for this program. The college had room for 60 students. The day classes began and 12 students showed up. The reason the other 48 students did not show was because they did not know whether or not they were accepted for student financial assistance.
The only communication students had was with the department's answering machine, which was located at one office in Yellowknife. Can the Minister look at setting up offices outside of Yellowknife? Thank you.
