Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would just suggest that income support certainly does not provide sufficient money for someone to go to school and quit their job. I think that we find, typically, people on income support rely on it to top up the amount of money that they receive from working in order to make ends meet. That may be little comfort, but I think we should certainly look at extending student financial assistance to people who are taking ABE. I think it only makes sense.
I do not know why we would start to talk semesters for student financial assistance and talk about how many semesters of university you are eligible for under the student financial assistance program when we will not allow it to extend to the simple, basic need for a high school diploma. The Minister mentioned that we have 250 adults in the ABE program. I would just like him to clarify, is this 250 adults who are currently going to get a high school diploma? If so, I assume they would be trying to get their high school diploma during the day, because there are no evening courses offered. If the Minister could just confirm, are 250 adults going for their high school diplomas during the day? Or is he referring to adults who are getting into nursing, getting into business, getting into other specific things where they will not necessarily receive a high school diploma? Thank you.
