ORDERS OF THE DAY

ORDRE DU JOUR

Opposition Day

Jour de l'opposition

With unanimous consent, in the absence of Mr. McGuinty, Mrs. McLeod moved,

Avec le consentement unanime, en l'absence de M. McGuinty, Mme McLeod propose,

Whereas tuition deregulation will cause tuition fees to soar and debt loads to sky-rocket; and

Whereas Mike Harris has not just raised tuition fees, he has also forced students to take on more and larger loans and has told families they will have to contribute more; and

Whereas the Mike Harris cuts to colleges and universities are the deepest of any jurisdiction in North America over the last two years; and

Whereas Mike Harris has prevented students from earning their own way by cutting back on the amount of money they can earn in a year and by cutting back on the amount of earnings they can make through summer jobs programs; and

Whereas Mike Harris student debt load levels are already too high; and

Whereas students and their families are already experiencing "sticker shock" at the high cost of these programs; and

Whereas no student in Ontario should be denied the opportunity to get a degree or diploma;

Resolved that the government listen to the students, professors and financial institutions who say that debt levels are already unmanageable; and

Resolved that the government adopt the Dalton McGuinty commitment to freeze tuition fees and halt opportunity-killing tuition deregulation; and

Resolved that the government stop forcing students into greater debt to make up for the Harris cuts to universities and colleges in Ontario.
