Keeping post-secondary education affordable

Post-secondary education is getting out of reach.

For students and their families, it’s getting harder to save for post-secondary education, let alone manage the debt that can follow. Yet skills training and college or university education can be what sets Canadians on the path to growth, hope and opportunity.

Where is the federal leadership?

To stay competitive on a global scale, the future of Canada’s economy depends on highly educated and skilled individuals in various trades and industries. Yet Stephen Harper’s conservatives aren’t doing anything to help.

Liberals stand for affordable access to post-secondary education.

The Liberal Party of Canada believes firmly that all Canadians deserve affordable access to education.

    May 16, 2013

    Earlier this spring, the Harper Conservatives faced a choice in their spending plans. They could invest in jobs for unemployed young Canadians (especially summer jobs for students). Or they could waste your tax dollars on expensive television advertising about their so-called "economic action plan" which is obviously a miserable failure as far as young people are concerned.
