Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, on the needs assessed loans, the answer is yes. On the regular grants, no, the size of the family isn't always factored in. Again, the Member has raised a good point and it is an area that I have also suggested that we need to take a look at ensuring, particularly for northern students, that we are encouraging those students to attend the college. I think we do need to recognize the higher cost for single parents. I have already asked that we take a look at doing that. I don't think we need a full-blown commission to do it. I think we have enough expertise within the department and within our colleagues at the college to help us understand that needs to happen, and that's the direction that I have provided. Thank you.
