Last question for the Minister in terms of the student financial services. Again I'm going to go back to several years ago we spoke about the programs that were offered by the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs. The Minister had indicated that his government administers the program. It's called a university entrance college program. I understand the Minister has made some inquiries and this program is only offered through the First Nations and the Metis are not eligible as deemed as the program is rolled out. However, I want to ask the Minister, would he or has he given consideration similar to the Metis health benefits that were offered to the residents of the Northwest Territories? Has he given consideration to offering this type of program to the Metis people who want to enter into university or college? I'd like to ask the Minister that, Madam Chair.
