Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our witnesses this afternoon.
I just want to comment and follow up Mr. Martin. I'm a guest at this committee as well. I sit on the human resources committee, and we've been studying the issue of poverty for over six months, so it is a very serious issue and a concern for our government and for everybody in this room and within the House. I have a sister-in-law who is a teacher and friends I spend quite a bit of time with in the schools, and some of the stories I've heard first-hand I've been saddened to hear.
We want to do what we can. We know that in the last budget we doubled the tax relief within our working income tax benefit, and we also tried to help with other incentives to try to encourage unemployed individuals with training to give them the skill sets so they can continue to provide the benefits that are required to have a healthy life.
The other aspect is that we're investing in education and investing in people. Going to the area of post-secondary education, I met with Okanagan College and UBC Okanagan in the Kelowna—Lake Country district I represent, and I know that education and investing in people is our number one priority for our future.
I just want to ask the representatives from the students' association something. In Budget 2009 we changed our funding for grants. Are you happy with our moving the Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation to the new grant program?
