Thank you for your question.
These initiatives will modernize the delivery of the Canada student loans program and improve the process for CSLP clients.
Right now when students apply for their student loans and grants, they can do so online electronically, but before they receive their assistance they have to do a number of things. First they have to present themselves at a Canada Post outlet to have their identity verified. They have to go to a Canada Post outlet and show a document such as a driver's licence or passport, and that's how the identity verification is done right now.
That will no longer apply. They will not have to go to a Canada Post outlet; they will be able to do so electronically. That will be one improvement.
The second thing is that before they get their money, they have to print a student loan agreement. It's a loan, so they have to sign a loan agreement. They have to sign it physically and mail in the paper loan agreement, as of now.
That will not be the case any longer. They will be able to log into their account and sign the student loan agreement electronically there.
Those are the improvements we will be implementing under these initiatives.
