Finance committee  I would say those three announcements in Budget 2015, from what we can tell, are the largest investments in student financial aid since 2008. I think they are a strong positive step and a great indication from this government in investing in young people and their education.

Finance committee  I guess I also wanted to briefly touch on this idea of balance. When we go outside the internship and coop sphere for a second, as a society, and as a government, and as a country we've already established balance when it comes to protecting general employees, whether it's with

Finance committee  I want to make clear that for CASA and our members, this is not a partisan issue but a matter of good policy and fairness. Some actors in the private sector have shown their willingness to take advantage of current regulatory ambiguity and to create positions that are dangerous,
