Thank you, Chair. Yes, I will.
I'm from the Canada student loans program. I will cover clause 116 that is related to the Canada Student Financial Assistance Act, and then my colleagues from the Canada education savings program will cover clauses 117 and 121. Those are related to the Canada Education Savings Act.
With respect to clause 116, as I said, this is a proposed amendment to the Canada Student Financial Assistance Act that currently limits who can be a qualifying student to Canadian citizens, permanent residents as defined in subsection 2(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, and protected persons within the meaning of subsection 95(2) of that same act.
As a result, persons who are registered as Indians under the Indian Act but who are not Canadian citizens are not eligible for student financial assistance under the Canada Student Financial Assistance Act. Amendments to this act will be introduced to provide that persons registered as Indians under the Indian Act will be eligible for student financial assistance, regardless of their citizenship.
That's clause 116. I will now pass to my colleagues from the education savings program.
