Thank you, Mr. Chairman. When the Minister talks about it being a good investment, I wouldn't argue that in any way. Has the department done any investment on their own to find out how long we keep some of these people that we provide student loans to? The reason I ask that is because I think it's fabulous to work at bringing everyone's education up and that works for society as a whole. I am just curious; once somebody takes out a student loan, they get their schooling paid for and they come back and get their years remissed, if it's three or four years, do they say see you later? Do we ever follow up about what type of investment or as they say, ROI, in industry? What type of longevity do we get out of students who we continue to offer one of the best student loan programs in the country if not the best?
