Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thanks, colleagues. There is an opportunity here for a hardworking NWT resident to advance from a dependent to an independent person to become an involved, contributing member of NWT society, someone who is not in need of ongoing financial support from the government. Yet our Student Financial Assistance Policy will not recognize the extent of this young person’s abilities, will not provide the funding needed to get the schooling and training necessary to advance them to the next stage in their life. For a government that professes to want equality and success for all of our people, this is a significant failure. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
