Alexa McDonough NDP Halifax, NS

moved for leave to introduce Bill C-228, An Act to amend the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (student loans).

Mr. Speaker, I am privileged to introduce this bill to amend the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. As members know, many students struggling with skyrocketing tuitions and shrinking student aid face an additional hardship in recent years in the form of discriminatory treatment with respect to declaring bankruptcy in instances of crippling, crushing debt burdens. This bill simply proposes to remove that discriminatory treatment.
