Madam Speaker, I have a question for the hon. member. He was praising what was in the budget for education. I am wondering if a more substantial approach in the budget for education might have been to give students who are in debt up to their eyeballs a break and maybe allow them to deduct their student loans.
However, the government says it will make it a little easier for those who are getting scholarships or bursaries. That is very commendable, but why not put something in the budget that gets to the core of the problem and allows students who are in debt up to their eyeballs because of the government's approach to cutting education dollars to claim that as a tax deduction?
