Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is also for the Minister responsible for the Department of Education, Culture and Employment, and is also about student financial assistance.

In applying for SFA in the new system, students are asked to justify certain expenses, and itemize these expenses. For instance, they are asked what their rent will be next year, although they are still here in Yellowknife and have not found lodgings for the upcoming semester, so they are not aware of what it might be.

They are also told that things like telephone calls and internet service do not qualify as expenses they are asked to itemize.

I am wondering if the Minister could talk about why students are asked to justify their expenses, when in fact justifying these expenses has no relation to the amount of money they receive? Thank you.
