Mr. Speaker, Bob Rae's recent report on post-secondary education brought to light the government's lack of support for higher learning.
We now know that program funding to colleges and universities has been cut in half by the Liberal government. Students are paying the price with higher tuition fees and student debts, and this amazingly, when every credible authority is telling us that higher education is fundamental to economic growth and personal prosperity. The government pretends it cares about education, but its actions show exactly the opposite.
Will the minister commit to establishing a dedicated transfer committed solely to higher education?
