Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I can absolutely agree with the Minister, that probably a rent in Vancouver or Victoria is probably very expensive, but the fact is, I mean, we have our institutions here. So what are we doing to help to nurture them because we could send anyone to a community college in the context of basic grants and it's probably significantly cheaper to send them there than the support we're giving them to stay home where they probably may want to consider that option seriously. I mean, to send someone to Aurora College can't be that cheap and it's almost like on one hand we're promoting Aurora College, on the other hand we're not ensuring that our kids, or our youth, wish to be financially able to do this. So it's almost discouraging in that context. How long has this problem been on the plate of this department? Thank you.
