Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. My questions today are for the Minister responsible for Education, Culture and Employment just about the student financial assistance policies and procedures. Mr. Speaker, I have received some inquiries from constituents of mine whose kids have been residents of the NWT pretty much most of their lives, have gone to school here pretty much 11 of the
12 years that they did go to school. They chose to go out of province to complete their high school because of peer pressure, because of social pressures that they were receiving, and they actually did go down and graduate. These people have graduated, they have applied for university and college, and they have been accepted, but they've been rejected by our student financial assistance because they have not resided continuously for the past 12 months in the NWT. That's in the policy here, Mr. Speaker, that would make you eligible for 12 continuous months before start of program. I want to know what the Department of Education can do for these students who are ordinarily residents of the NWT, but chose to live the last 12 months, complete their high school, enrol in post-secondary education, but be refused student financial assistance. How can we help those students, Mr. Speaker? Thank you.
