Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Just a question to the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment relating to the policies and procedures manual for the basic grants that are allowable to students in the NWT. Like I stated in my Member's statement, a lot of students in this day and age go to university for nine years straight. They want a couple of bachelor of arts degrees. Some want to go for master's and Ph.D.s. Our 12-semester limitation per lifetime in our policies and procedures manual for Student Financial Assistance to me just seems to undermine the initiative our students have. When was the last time this policies and procedures manual was updated to accommodate the growing number of university students who are going for their master degrees or Ph.D. level degrees in the NWT today? Would he be willing to commit to deleting the "in your lifetime'' portion of that one sentence in the maximum number of grants available? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
