Mahsi, Mr. Chairman. We talked about this on numerous occasions within our department where when it came down to certain cuts. We’ve identified this area, of course, as important. At the same time, we do provide, as I stated earlier, our SFA program does cover and the scholarships that we do provide, and other scholarships, whether they be at the universities or colleges, they do provide various and top quality scholarships as well. They can range from $15,000 to $20,000, depending on the program they’re in. This was just an initial step to attract aboriginal lawyers. It has been undertaken by a few individuals. We do have aboriginal lawyers within our department as well. It has been successful, but it’s a small investment we had and we figured there are other avenues these individuals can access.
