Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for reminding everyone in this House, as I had just reminded everybody, that it was under the previous Liberal government that $25 billion was cut from transfers to the provinces for students.
We have pledged to modernize the delivery of Canada student loans. That is why budget 2007 launched a review of this program. We expect the results of this review and the proposed changes to be announced in budget 2008.
We are also continuing to help Canadians overcome barriers to getting the skills and education they require. Last year we gave foreign students studying in Canada the opportunity to work off campus to help finance their studies.
This is our government's record and it is clearly one that we are proud of and should be proud of. After 13 years of inaction, when tuition skyrocketed--and I was a student during that time--attendance stagnated and infrastructure crumbled, Canadians finally have a government that is doing more than just talking--
