Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Finally I have some good news to report. Although I can't confirm it, because it's only in the Canadian Press and we haven't gotten official word from the government, but we understand that the federal government will scrap the proposal to tax grants for aboriginal college and university students. So it sounds promising. I think the federal government has recognized that aboriginal students are the most underrepresented in terms of success in university and college in Canada and they need the support of the federal government by not taxing. I think it sounds like it's good news, Mr. Speaker.
