Thank you, Mr. Chair. We do have several programs to assist students, individuals with disabilities. We have an $8,000 study grant so that they can be helped through various programs that they may wish to take, and there is that support. Additionally, Mr. Chair, we have a fund of approximately $100,000 that we have passed on to the NWT Council for Persons with Disabilities that individuals can access and we allow the Council for Disabled, who are in the best position to be able to do the appropriate judgment as to who needs and who should gain assistance, Mr. Chair. We also have a career services department that we provide. Thank you.
