Reduce the debt of graduating students
Working on their education and future should not leave students in overwhelming debt – yet some graduates report crushing debt in excess of $100,000. Jack Layton and the NDP will work in the next Parliament to make education more affordable and training more available for young people by:
- Re-investing in a stable, long-term federal grant system to make education and training affordable in every year of study, including special grants for rural and Aboriginal youth to ensure students can finish the programs they begin.
- Overhauling the Canada Student Loans Program to create a comprehensive program designed to improve access and reduce the burden of student debt.
Except for the legalized drugs, I think that the NDP COULD form a half-decent government.
Admin note: see our guidelines about languagethe country up, just in diffrent ways. The tories will fill up our jails and start a wasteful war on drugs, the liebrals scam us out of even more money and confiscate our guns, and the NDP will raise the gas tax. Now, I have no problem with high tax as long as they can justify the spending.
