Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The costs for post-secondary education have been increasing everywhere. It's not as if the college has been asking for support for housing for years. So I know that we've managed to respond in Fort Smith and Inuvik. It's a long-standing request for housing. This has been something that has been held up by the size of the capital plan, not because it wasn't something that we weren't aware of. Again, the same is true of demands for increases, for instance, like we're showing in this budget, to the grant for tuition and for the book allowance. I know I've had students ask about that for quite some time, but we've managed, in this budget, to find the money to be able to bring it forward and we'll continue to look at areas that we can improve the program. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
