Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would have to check into that. I just do not have that answer here, the why and where they require great detail as to where the expenses are going. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would just like to ask the Minister if, when he is checking into that, he could check to see if the requirement is there. That information is required through the Millennium Scholarships, and not really for our Northwest Territories SFA. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, if it is required for the Millennium Scholarships, then it is a case of the Millennium Scholarship Foundation setting the rules as to what to plan. That is consistent across the country. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would agree that would be the case, but it is not explained to students why they are asked to justify these expenses. I believe the department is doing it because of requirements under the Millennium Scholarships, but that is not laid out. I am wondering if that can be explained for students, if that is the case.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, that is a very good point. I will certainly bring that to the department's attention.

Charles Dent Frame Lake
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is also for the Minister responsible for the Department of Education, Culture and Employment. With the response to Mr. Bell, the booklet will now become 109 pages instead of 108 pages, plus appendices, for students to try and work through.
Mr. Speaker, in going through this manual, I have come up with a number of questions I would like to ask the Minister for some clarification on. I notice in three different places, it is laid out that we have an NWT study branch for students with disabilities who are taking full-time studies. I am wondering if the Minister could outline the changes in the SFA Program that now apply to students with disabilities compared with the previous program.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, could the Minister advise if that is a $5,000 increase for the program? Are the expectations that the student will meet all of the other requirements for SFA?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in another section, I understand that most of the assistance provided to students is not needs-assessed. Everyone qualifies for the same amount, as Mr. Bell has pointed out.
Why would the expected student contribution from employment be ten percent? What is the rationale for that?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I will try Minister number three on the Inuvik Regional Hospital. Taking the lead from the Minister responsible for the Department of Health and Social Services informing me the project will be put in the control of the Department of Public Works and Services, can the Minister of Public Works and Services inform me what has been done since his department has become involved in the management of that project? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I believe, as the Minister of Health indicated earlier, the whole project is back to square one, where it now goes through the policies of Health and Social Services, putting it back to the Financial Management Board Secretariat for funding.
