We can answer that question. It's quite simply this: under Canada's student loan system, it has to be an accredited post-secondary Canadian designated program that the students need to be going into. If a disabled student goes into post-secondary, then they are funded under SFA. In addition to SFA -- the regular basic grant and supplementary or remissible loan or repayable loan -- they get this study grant. But because some of these other programs are not designated programs under Canada student loan, such as the one that the Member is talking about in terms of the student in Alberta; Alberta does not recognize that program for student financial assistance as well. So we are following the same sorts of regulations as student financial assistance as offered across Canada, and with the Canada student loan system.
