Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you all for your presentations this morning.
I'm going to start with Ms. Kiddell on the subject of tuition.
The average tuition debt would be roughly $6,073 a year. I just want to put this together. I know we have provinces in Canada that are now offering free tuition. The road from high school to college or from high school to university is not an easy one for those who do not have role models, mentors, or people that they can follow or have for support. As a parent who has just put two kids through post-secondary education, I wish that all we had to pay was the tuition. The living expenses far exceed the actual cost of tuition. It's something that concerns me. I think offering free tuition is an important first step, but I'm not sure that's going to answer all the issues because there are so many other factors associated with that. Maybe you could speak to that and also to how someone is going to manage all the living costs once they arrive there.
