Mr. Speaker, in the last budget we saw the foundation for innovation, an $800 million investment into exactly that type of thing.
In the last budget a series of measures were introduced to help Canadians pursuing post-secondary education. There was an expansion of the registered education savings plan; 100% increase in the education tax credit; changes in the tax system to allow a carry forward of the tuition deduction; expansion of the tuition deduction; and the interest relief period being increased from 18 months to 30 months. When added to the original six months, the period becomes three years. This government has taken very specific measures.
