Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My recollection is either the Member is referring to the Resource Management Committee, which later became the Resource Management and Infrastructure Committee.
I was not an alternate, if I recall correctly, on the Government Operations Committee. This matter was dealt with in depth by the Social Envelope Committee. As I said, I have given you the history of this. It did receive a lot of consultation publicly. I believe the previous Minister of Education started by doing a report.
From that, he established the Minister's Forum on Student Financial Assistance. Following that, there were public consultations with a number of groups. Following that, it came to the Standing Committee on the Social Envelope. Following that, it went to the Government Operations Committee.
Mr. Speaker, this particular program and the model that has been put forward is the one that has been looked at as the most acceptable by the people who have had input; the most acceptable by the most people.
It provides some key areas of concern. It provides more money for students. It invests in the future of youth of the North. It encourages student success. There are many benefits that are being passed on for students. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
