Mr. Speaker, I enjoy working with the parliamentary secretary on committee.
There is nothing more critical for this country than to maximize its human resource potential, and the Conservative government is not taking that seriously.
It killed the millennium scholarship foundation. The foundation was supported by every province and territory. It ignores the needs of the most vulnerable. Its vaunted review of the student loan program ignored the major suggestions of students and advocates.
Let me be specific. To whom were the Conservatives listening? Let me be more specific. Did they talk to the Canadian Federation of Students? Did they talk to CASA? Did they ever meet with the Coalition for Student Loan Fairness? If not, why not?
