Mr. Speaker, the government's declining support for post-secondary education is creating havoc for students and institutions alike. Not only are students hurting from unprecedented high debt loads, but the government's new research chairs will actually widen the gap between have and have not universities, with three universities taking up close to one-third of the program.
Will the minister acknowledge that accessibility is being seriously undermined? Will he explain why the research chairs favour a few and neglect the majority?
