Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The cheques in the system are such that they will be monthly cheques deposited into students' accounts. It will be done through the banks as long as the bank is here in Yellowknife. In other words, the CIBC, Royal Bank, Toronto Dominion, and the Bank of Montreal. No doubt students can access one of those in the south, but not to the smaller operations like the Alberta Treasury Branch, because there is no direct link.
The students will be given their basic grant up front, which will cover their tuition for the term. The living allowance will be on a monthly basis and will be done by direct deposit. This is partially done by student request as well. We have received requests from students that this would be a better method for them. I know that contradicts with some of the other students who are saying that they prefer one lump sum payment. We did have students come to us saying that they prefer this system. Thank you.
