Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Standing Committee on Social Programs conducted its public review of Bill 7, An Act to Amend the Student Financial Assistance Act, on January 15th ,

2009. The committee would like to thank the Minister and his staff for presenting the bill.

The bill raises the total amount that the GNWT can lend through its student loans program to $36,000 starting in 2009-2010. In addition, a minor amendment is made in the French version for the term “ordinary place of residence.” Following the committee’s review, a motion was carried to report Bill 7, An Act to Amend the Student Financial Assistance Act, to the Assembly as ready for Committee of the Whole.

This concludes the committee’s opening comments on Bill 7. Individual Members may have additional questions or comments as we proceed.
