Canada is one of the only OECD countries that doesn't have a national ministry of education.
The situation right now in Canada is that there is a significant disparity in the tuition fees that are charged from province to province. It's a situation whereby students in Newfoundland and Labrador pay about $2,600 per year in tuition fees, whereas students in Ontario pay more than $7,000 per year.
The goal behind implementing a post-secondary education act is to provide some sort of consistency across the country and a level standard of access to post-secondary education, and to provide some accountability for transfer payments made to the provinces to ensure they're being invested as they were intended to be invested rather than the situation we have now where money is going to the provinces through the Canada social transfer, but it's often unclear whether or not that money is being spent as it was intended.
