Another thing we might wish to mention is the children in families who are on income support. Sometimes when they turned 18 but were still in school, their families were no longer eligible for any of the Canada child benefit. That was actually leading to some dropouts, particularly with our economy now providing service sector jobs and so on. One of the things we've done is provide the equivalent to students who stay in school, so their families don't lose that benefit, because we were finding that was a contributing factor.
