Mr. Speaker, increasing Canada's productivity was a priority of the former Liberal government. Canada now leads the G-7 in publicly funded research, and the fall economic update introduced measures that would drastically increase student accessibility, skills upgrading and literacy.
The Speech from the Throne did not even mention education, not a word. That is frightening.
What will the government do to maintain our strong record of research and what will it do to assist Canadian students to access higher education? How long will students have to wait?
