Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister responsible for the Department of Education, Culture and Employment. It relates to my Member's statement earlier today. It has to do with the grandfather clause, which, according to the dictionary, is a clause creating an exemption based on circumstances previously existing.

Mr. Speaker, when the Minister told the committee that existing students would be grandfathered, would the Minister agree that the intent was that existing students would not be penalized by changes to the program?
