Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Finance and I have spent a lot of time with the student associations in the last few weeks and months.
We began to address this situation in the 1997 budget. The 1998 budget might contain some important elements.
It is interesting to see that the Conservative leader has rejected the millennium fund as not helping hundreds and thousands of students, without even seeing it. In addition to the millennium fund, we are going to address the structure of the Canada student loans program. We are investigating several options that will reflect student needs in this country.
