It was $543 million, then. That's about $11,000 per student for 40,000 students. If memory serves me correctly, the government said the grants ranged from $1,000 to $5,000 per student. If we assume all 40,000 students received the maximum $5,000, the program would have cost $200 million. You're saying the value of the program was $543 million, so where did the difference of $343 million go?
