Now, to steal the thunder away from an Acadian....
I would say there are two quick things that immediately come to mind. One thing is part-time student loans. The federal government does provide those, but they're not very good. Certainly, there was a former director of the Canada student loan program who didn't understand how people even got to the part-time student loans because economically it made more sense to go to the bank.
The second one is something as basic as a car. If you have a car, that's counted against how much of a loan you can get. The average car is more valuable than the total amount of loan you can earn, so if you own a car, you can't really get anything.
These are just a couple of examples of the kinds of policies that could help people who are already in the workforce who need to have a more flexible learning arrangement.
