Thank you, Mr. Simpson. Minister Cochrane.

Yes, thank you. Any time our students want to travel out for school, it is always a challenge with SFA. I think that we should have a separate pot of funding for students who are taking Indigenous languages. That would be a real benefit to them, to take those courses, especially if you have to go to Alaska, for example, because that is one of the best programs out there. That should be available to people who want to take that opportunity. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister Cochrane. Next on the list, we have Mr. Simpson.

Thank you, Mr. Simpson. Ms. Haener.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The way it was before, like in my riding, I will just speak to my riding, it was working well. I believe it was six cords or over 3,000 litres of fuel, and it seemed to work perfectly. Since this change, there have been a number of concerns coming up. For my riding, I think we would prefer what it used to be rather than what it is now. Will the Minister look at changing it back to what it was for especially the North, where we have the highest cost of living? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Good afternoon, Mr. Speaker. This week, the Gwich'in have been welcoming and celebrating one of their own.
