Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Right now the average across Canada for tuition is about $4,000 a year, and our program provides a grant of $3,500. So students' families have to come up with about $500 towards the cost of tuition on average. There will be a number of programs, obviously, that are higher than that and some that are less expensive. But our program provides a maximum of $3,500 towards tuition, and that hasn't changed for quite some time, since the program was redesigned a number of years ago.
