Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Smoke, when I hear what you as the students' representative at the National Aboriginal Caucus have to ask when you come here with your requests and you're being told what is better for you, I find it very difficult, and I appreciate the difficulty you have in negotiating with the government to get rid of the funding cap.
Can you explain to us how those negotiations have been and why you think the government is not helping you on that issue?
