Thank you, Mr. Speaker. One of the messages the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment is trying to get across is that the harmonization strategy is simply a method of standardizing the way income is calculated between two government departments. I might suggest to the Minister here that this is too simple a rationalization given the effects of the harmonization strategy that have come to light over the past couple of weeks. Is the Minister aware that by implementing the harmonization strategy, the government could create three different classes of students receiving student financial assistance? The students who are in college housing, students in public housing, students renting on the open market. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
