Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for being here.
As a recent grad—well, not so recent, but not so long out of school—I want to focus on what the budget does for young Canadians. The cost of education, especially post-secondary education, is going up every year.
We spoke about innovation and growth. At the heart of that is ensuring that we have the talent to build our innovation agenda and grow our economy. Education is the single most powerful tool to change your circumstance and contribute to society and the economy.
You mentioned earlier the grants that we are going to be doubling. Can you also please elaborate on how we are going to make it easier for students to manage their debt load, because the cost of education is increasing?
