Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Member raises a good point, and there are some challenges here with respect to individuals being able to access programs. In regard to the evening courses, I met with the college last Saturday to discuss this. Part of their problem is their ability to fund these programs. As well, I did raise a concern as to whether they can offer evening courses. Their response was that they could not offer evening courses without additional funding. In the high school program itself, you understand that there are 250 adults in the high school system. With regard to the student financial assistance, it is not available to students who are in the ABE program. However, they can access income support in case of need.
