Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The process we follow is to identify when we take a new initiative, what we expect the cost of student financial assistance would be. We then take that information and look at it in the context of our overall planning for student financial assistance.

The Member is correct. The Student Financial Assistance Program is open to the public. There is no fixed cap on that program. If we had more students coming into oil and gas, it would cost us more than that. If we had less, it would cost us less.

However, based on our planning, we have built funding into our Student Financial Assistance Program. We have adequate funds to cover it at any point in time. Thank you.
