I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
I
know that the member is asking for the information in tabular form, but he is
asking for information for only two regions, so it is not in tabular
form.
(1) Claims for 336 455 students have
been paid.
(2) (a) There are 7 088 eligible
children.
(b) There are 10 856 eligible
children.
