Le projet de loi suivant est présenté et lu une première fois:- |

Ms Castrilli moved, |
Ms Castrilli propose, |
Whereas the Conservative policy document "New Directions II, A Blueprint for Learning in Ontario" reports that tuition fees should represent 25 per cent of the operating costs of a post secondary education; and
Whereas a recent Statistic Canada report shows that university tuition fees already represent more than 26 per cent of the cost of education; and
Whereas the former NDP government was responsible for a 42 percent increase in tuition fees and the elimination of the grant portion of the Ontario Student Assistant Program; and
Whereas Ontario ranks second-last when it comes to per student expenditure on post secondary education; and
Whereas the Conservative government has failed to act on their promise to establish an income contingent loan repayment plan; and
Whereas it is immoral to force students to pay the price of Mike Harris' income tax cut to the wealthy through higher tuition fees;
Therefore this House calls on the Mike Harris government not to impose or allow any tuition increase without first: demonstrating that students are not paying their fair share of education costs, which according to New Directions II, was set by the Conservatives at 25 per cent of operating expenditure; ensuring that no student is denied access to a post-secondary institution as a result of their ability to pay; significantly expanding existing student aid programs; consulting with all stakeholders; and establishing an income contingent loan repayment plan as promised.
