Mr. Speaker, we know that education is vital to succeeding in our modern workforce and that is why we are investing in Canadians and their futures.
To help Canadians reach their full potential, we will increase the Canada student grant by $1,200, extend Canada's student loan repayment grace period from six months to two years after graduation, give parents with their own student loans a repayment grace period until their child turns five and increase the threshold of the repayment assistance program, so students do not need to start repaying their loans until they are making over $35,000.
That is how we are helping the middle class and those working hard to join it.
