Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to announce that we have made changes to allow part-time students to have greater access to student loans and grants.
In fact, 8,000 part-time students will now qualify for student loans, and a further 1,500 part-time students will be able to access the Canada student grants program.
This is in addition to the previous changes we made that stopped the accumulation of interest on loans for part-time students while they were still studying. That is another great example of how we are helping students continue with their education in Canada—
