Mr. Speaker, I have already replied on a couple of occasions in this House in terms of the bank mergers.
I would certainly like to express the government's great concern with the whole question of student debt. Indeed it is why the prime minister before Christmas stood up in this House and announced the scholarship millennium fund to deal directly with that issue. It is why in the 1997 budget the government brought in a series of measures to deal with the whole question of student debt. It is why this government is very much concerned to make sure that young Canadians have equal access to higher education.
