Thank you, Madam Chair. I’m just going to follow up and it’s very specific to the issue before us at this second, but I’m going to follow up on a matter that I raised in committee some time ago. Still, to my knowledge, I have yet to receive either a letter or any type of correspondence to that. It directly relates to the SFA and the loan system, and now we plan to expand it.
The issue I brought to the attention of the Minister is when we provide loan bursary programs and we only charge, if memory serves me correctly, at 1 percent above the regular rate, it is very, very low. Here, we’re asking for more money to increase the loan system, which I’m not necessarily against by any means, but the fact is how do you encourage people to come back when we have the lowest interest rate on loan systems. Shouldn’t we have a multi-tiered system to encourage people to come back? It doesn’t cost any additional money by increasing the rate, and actually it helps keep the balance of this fund lower if people are paying the higher rate if they choose not to come back to the Northwest Territories. It’s a choice, because right now it’s almost as if we’re giving money away and I’d like to see education pursued, and if we need to expand the loan system, I’m in favour of that, but we need to do it in a way that’s strategic.
