Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Human Resources Development.
Bill C-36 indicates that the government intends to increase the period a student cannot include student loans in a bankruptcy from two to ten years.
By increasing to ten years, the usual repayment period, the time that must elapse before a student loan may be included in a bankruptcy, is the minister aware that he is abandoning students to the banks and ignoring even the most elementary responsibility for them?
