Great. Thank you.

On the writeoff of unrecoverable Canada student loans, I see an amount of $163.5 million. That's an amount that we see coming up again and again, year over year.

So I can explain it to my constituents who might have an issue with the fact that we're writing off 163 million dollars' worth of student loans, how do we manage that debt? Do we sell part of that debt to try to recover that debt? How do we do that from a government perspective?
