Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the Member's comments. We are concerned about decisions that are made by various appeal boards and so forth. As an alternative to the program, we established this particular program to assist individuals with disabilities and that was $100,000. As I say, we are also working on alternatives to that, so it's not as though we are ignoring the issue, Mr. Chair. We are definitely paying attention to it and we are prepared to continue to look at it and continue to do it. We must respect the rules and regulations that may be in place for ourselves with regard to the student financial assistance program. Thank you.
