Thank you, Mr. Speaker. No, once you owe the money, you owe the money. So that money is not going to be forgiven, it will have to be recovered. FMBS is not going to forgive it either. The student will have to pay that money back because it represents monies that were paid out that they should not have received in the first place. So that becomes a debt to the government which is going to be recovered. FMBS has demonstrated on numerous occasions that they are willing to be very flexible with people who owe this government money when they're involved in programs to better themselves or making productive choices. So I'm quite confident that FMBS would continue the arrangements as long as the person remains a student. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
