Mr. Speaker, the finance minister has said that the government would deal with the issue of post-secondary student debt to the extent of its resources.
Last week when the minister was boasting about having $12.3 billion more than he had expected, why did he not act to reduce the level of student debt that has increased on his watch? Is it that the minister has had a hard time keeping his promises, or is it that he agrees with the Leader of the Opposition that student debt is just a personal problem?
