Thank you, Madam Chair. I don’t have the exact figures with regards to defaults on student loans at this time, but what I can inform you of is that we’ve recently worked with the Department of Finance and have substantiated, through income tax returns and filing of income tax returns, that approximately 70 percent of our non-Aboriginal students who received the remissible loan do return to the Northwest Territories upon completion of studies. In comparison, approximately 80 of our Aboriginal students return and file income tax returns the following year.
