Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This was introduced many years ago and it has been in the system since. It was felt at the time that there needed to be a contribution made by the student who did earn income. It is a needs assessed loan and obviously there is income that the student earns during that period of time. It is an assistance program, Mr. Speaker.
