Okay. Thank you.
Canadians across this country are feeling the impacts of the generational cost of living crisis. Those on fixed incomes, including students, are suffering because of the government's inflationary policies.
Last week, we heard from students who shared heartbreaking stories on the realities they are facing. One of three graduate students is living on less than $1,300 a month. Students are turning to food banks, as they can't afford the rising cost of groceries. Students are signing up for counselling, as they are struggling to afford to live, and students are actually living in homeless shelters, as the cost of rent has doubled.
Ms. Laframboise, can you describe how the cost of living crisis, combined with the government's funding freeze, has impacted the well-being of students?
