Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Human Resources Development who has introduced proposals to change funding to post-secondary education. He recently said, and I quote: "These wild allegations about closing universities and huge increases in tuition are simply scare mongering". However, in a submission to the Standing Committee on Human Resources Development,
the Association of Universities and Colleges predicted that tuition fees would double under these proposals.
I ask the minister to come clean with Canadians. Will he in his proposals and in his view increase tuition fees or not?
