Mahsi, Mr. Chairman. I just want to make a couple quick comments on the opening remarks from the Department of Education. It's good to see that there's probably going to be an increase in the overall education funding, anyway, for community-based distance learning college programs and student financial assistance.

I just wanted to talk a little bit about the income assistance or the income support programs that ECE manages. Just with respect to some of the policy changes that were going to be reviewed and looked at by the Social Programs committee with the Member about eligibility requirements for persons with disabilities and handicapped individuals. I know there's a list of about eight eligibility requirements that were in the application forms for handicapped and disabled peoples in the NWT and, whereas, we did mention at some point in time back in the last session, I believe, that the Alberta income assistance programs had four basic eligibility requirements for handicapped and disabled people to receive income assistance. Has there been any constructive dialogue or any review processes formally conducted over the last year that this has been an issue, I guess over the last two years, with the Standing Committee on Social Programs and the Department of Education, Culture and Employment to make any policy changes that would help alleviate some of the inconsistency that handicapped people and people with disabilities have to abide by? Has there been anything constructive done to date?
