Thank you, Mr. Chairman. With all due respect, I don't think that I'm prepared to accept that answer because I don't think that the decisions that the government makes and the Minister wants to make have to be based on what other provinces, such as Alberta or the Government of Canada, makes in this regard. I believe that the government and the department has what it needs. It has the direction from the board, and the appeal board stated that based on the evidence that the educational institution that this student and other students have gone to in Alberta or elsewhere is a post-secondary school. The board made this decision on the basis of the regulations that we had in place. The regulation very clearly states that the intention of whoever wrote the law and whoever wrote the regulations way back when, it was their intention to create an affirmative action program, or create a provision in the regulations to allow the students with disabilities to get funding. It's very clear in the regulations, and the appeal board respected that decision.

You know, Mr. Chairman, we hear all the time in this House from various Ministers overseeing various boards, always saying we don't want to intervene with the decisions of boards. We respect our boards, we have to defer to them, we have to follow their discussions. So when the board makes a decision that goes contrary to what might be a common understanding of the department, we get busy preparing documentation saying why. We know what the board said, but we don't agree with it or it doesn't follow the guidelines from other jurisdictions in another province or Canada. I appreciate the answer, that's the standard answer. But why can we not do something different? Why can we not respect the decision of the board and do the right thing and change the policy accordingly? Thank you. May I ask the Minister to answer that?
