Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
My thanks to our witnesses for being here with us today.
My question has several parts. It is mainly for the representatives from the student associations, the FEUQ and the Canadian Federation of Students.
You both talked about two of the consequences of student debt, not only during studies, but especially afterwards, when it has to be repaid. I will keep hammering the same point I have been hammering since the beginning of the TD Bank study. That study shows the impact on a young graduate of being unemployed or of accepting a “McJob”, as they are called. There are no other expressions really to describe those types of jobs. They are jobs that really do not match their talents.
Some people do not realize the impact debt can have on young people, forcing them to accept jobs for which they are either not qualified or too qualified. I would like to hear what the representatives from the two associations have to say, starting with Mr. Morel-Laforce from the FEUQ.
