I know the Minister just raised another real concerning issue for me. Northern residents schooled in the NWT 12 years, you live here in the NWT, you go to school here in the NWT, and you are only eligible for 12 semesters of funding. What's the rationale on that? I just don't see how they come up with some kind of an eligibility requirement like that. I think if you go to school 12 years here in the NWT, you should be eligible to any unlimited amount of funding for Student Financial Assistance to carry on and go ahead, over and above the scholarships and loans available. That's one of these policies that I would like to see reviewed and probably taken out of the whole policies and procedure manual. I just want to ask the Minister how much of the basic grant funding that the government allocates in their Student Financial Assistance Program has been spent this year so far. Do we have to use it all up? Do we use it all up every year?
