I would like to ask him two questions concerning students.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"936430\" data-originallang=\"en\">First, the millennium scholarship was the biggest scholarship in history for low income students. More students were helped through this scholarship than at any time in history. I wonder why the Conservatives and the NDP will not support reinstating it now that the funds have run out. Also, does the budget have money for medical students in their residency period when they have very little income?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"936431\" data-originallang=\"en\">Finally, I would like to thank the member for raising the issue of women and poverty. In the north we had a remarkable study released a couple of months ago, which explained how many women are homeless and how they have lower incomes than anyone else, as he mentioned. In the north when the temperature is -40\u00b0 they actually have to go into a house, so they may be in danger of a sexual attack or there may be other dangers. Was there anything in the budget for these women? </p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"936429\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a fait un excellent discours. Il est bien connu \u00e0 la Chambre comme d\u00e9fenseur des \u00e9tudiants. J'aimerais lui poser deux questions au sujet des \u00e9tudiants.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"936430\" data-originallang=\"en\">Tout d'abord, les Bourses d'\u00e9tudes canadiennes du mill\u00e9naire \u00e9taient les plus importantes bourses de l'histoire pour les \u00e9tudiants \u00e0 faible revenu. Jamais dans notre histoire autant d'\u00e9tudiants avaient re\u00e7u de l'aide financi\u00e8re. Je me demande pourquoi les conservateurs et les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates n'appuient pas le r\u00e9tablissement de ces bourses dont le financement est maintenant \u00e9puis\u00e9. De plus, le budget pr\u00e9voit-il une aide pour les \u00e9tudiants en m\u00e9decine pendant leur r\u00e9sidence, p\u00e9riode pendant laquelle ils touchent de faibles revenus?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"936431\" data-originallang=\"en\">Enfin, j'aimerais remercier le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'avoir soulev\u00e9 la question des femmes et de la pauvret\u00e9. Dans le Nord, une \u00e9tude remarquable a \u00e9t\u00e9 publi\u00e9e il y a quelques mois qui pr\u00e9cise combien de femmes sont sans-abri et explique comment il se fait qu'elles ont des revenus plus faibles que quiconque, comme le d\u00e9put\u00e9 l'a mentionn\u00e9. Dans le Nord, o\u00f9 les temp\u00e9ratures atteignent -40\u00b0, ces femmes doivent trouver refuge et cela les am\u00e8ne parfois \u00e0 s'exposer \u00e0 la violence sexuelle ou \u00e0 d'autres dangers. Le budget pr\u00e9voit-il quelque chose pour ces femmes? </p>"
