Mr. Davidson, you were talking about foreign students and the high tuition they pay. One of the really strong concerns we have in the NDP is regarding student debt and how it's accelerating. When I got out of high school, you could buy a house for $15,000. Their debt would buy four houses in my generation. So we're really concerned about that.
One of the things I've spoken about repeatedly here is that, as a school board trustee in Hamilton, I remember that we had a 28% dropout rate. We need to try to find a way to get those people into the system, but many of them see that wall of student debt as hopeless.
Is there any way the federal government could be involved in assisting in some fashion with this debt load?
