I will make a couple of comments in closing, to clarify the record. There is no change to the Relocation Scholarships; the changes are to the regional scholarships, or start-up scholarships. The government does have a strong record of investment in higher education and supporting students over a longer period of time. The 2005 dollar payments will remain, to assist eligible students. And the MYEFO savings are only $1.5 billion with respect to higher education.
