Mr. Speaker, I am delighted to say to the House and to the member who initiated this bill that I offer my congratulations and on behalf of the House and this side we are very grateful. We are indebted to the member for bringing once again the concerns of students and higher education into the forefront of parliamentary democracy.
We need more initiatives and good ideas to present to young people, in particular those facing significant student debt problems. This is one measure which the Department of Finance and Revenue Canada should be looking at very seriously. It complements a series of measures which the government has already implemented, measures which were described in detail by other members.
This is the type of debate that students are expecting of the House and the type of good ideas that should come forward.
