Should the federal government put a cap on university tuition rates?

YES - I think the Federal government should pay the full fee of Bachelor Degree program and 50% for Master's program (PHD is full responsibility of student). But all recipients must work 5 consecutive years within Canada or for a Canadian owned company; if they choose not to, then the full cost of university will have to be repaid within 5 - 8 years.

he best universities with the highest scrutiny to be accredited should be allowed to charge the top tuition rates.

Tuition rates should be caped on careers that provide an average annual income of 80, 000 dollars and below.

nobody is gonna spend 500$ just to research sociology 💀, considering this case, this country isn't gonna to care because of it's dumb "by the book" plans of this failing minister, how redundant.

Yes, but only to Canadian born citizens. And limit number of foreign students so universities do not just take foreign students for the money

Cap it at a reasonable rate to ensure the College still makes money to pay their instructors/professors to ensure fair pay and fair pay to students.

Yes, the government should pay the full term of Bachelor Degree programs and 50% for Master's programs. But all recipients must work 5 consecutive years within Canada or for a Canadian owned company; if they choose not to, then the full cost of University will have to be repaid within 5-8 years.

It should be a free market with reasonable government intervention

Regardless, all education should be free for any Canadian citizen

Tuition should be free. Higher education is not a luxury. It should be a fundamental right. It is not far that poor people cannot afford to go to university and make less money because higher paying jobs require more training and education.

Aspects of university education should be free to eliminate financial barrier and subsequent financial burden. Alleviated costs will increase accessibility, improve academic performance, produce stronger graduate outcomes and improve our society/economy. Associated costs with university education should fall on the student, for example textbooks, but these should be made available at a more cost-effective rate. We should be removing all funding for immigration initiatives/foreign aid and investing in our students.

Yes, but the government should also increase funding for universities specifically in the areas of undergraduate education and research funding.

Cap the proportion of budget that can be used for administration costs and the amount of maximum pay. Have tuition costs proportionate to the overall budget. Subsidize schools that attract and promote viewpoint diversity and fund/promote open debate on all issues.

University should be free of charge.

It dosn't concern the federal government. Education is Provincial.

Tuition costs should be reduced as they are way higher than they should be at this time. following that reduction they should be tied to inflation.

No, however one's inability to afford the schooling tuition should not jeopardize their ability to get accepted into the school.

No, student loans should be completely eliminated. No more student loans for anyone. We’ll see what happens to tuition then…

Yes and prevent the addition of fees per course for immigrants! We can barely afford to pay for our own course without having to contribute to someone education not in our family.

It should be capped for domestic students to allow for more opportunities for citizens and permanent residents.

the best universities with the highest scrutiny to be accredited should be allowed to charge the top tuition rates.

Government should provide free university education on a fair competition basis - everyone can apply but only the best of the best gets in

Yes, for first year students, and have a mix of private and public education. Give people more choice

If it is to be done, it should be done by the provincial government in accordance with our federalist system

I think that the government should provide funding for education like many places in Europe, but only part of it. They should also make sure universities aren't overcharging anyone

If you go to post Secondary, that is a personal choice. If you choose to go to an expensive school, that's the individuals choice.

There should be free post-secondary education offered by the government for each province, as well as private institutions whose rate should be determined by the free market.

No, the government should attempt to find a way to decrease tuition rates (at least proportionally to inflation) by figuring why it increased (aside from inflation)

only for domestic students international students should pay more and should have second priority to domestic students

University is becoming too expensive. Students should have more opportunities for scholarships and grants. Universities should have regulations on how much they can charge on tuition but at the end of the day universities are private and charge as much as we wish. We need more low cost affordable public universities.

Higher education needs to be made more affordable to all not just those with the money to pay the outlandish expenses

Cap on tuition increases for international students

yes, recent tuition increases at universities across the country are too high and need to be capped for each student's first year rate

The government should give money to students to pay student lone det

Reduce grants/ loans so schools come to expect less gov money causing tuition to need to decrease.

Yes, and it should 0$. This concept was created to eliminate the possibility of an "educated proletarian".

No, tuition fees to foreign students should increase greatly. Tuition fees for Canadian students should be at a lower amount.

Yes, only for Canadian citizens

The government should provide free postsecondary education to all Canadian citizens.

Wouldn't be so high if they didn't accept so many foreign students.

I'm skeptical. How would this affect research and other services?

No, but the province's should

They need to make money so they cannot make it free BUT at least reduce the cost of tuitions a bit

No, but free educational materials should be made available for students who prefer it or cannot afford university tuition

Make it up to the universities, what would the government know about university funds

We should acknowledge that many jobs don't need a degree to be done effectively.

I feel like this is a yes and no answer, because there should be tuition fees, but I don't think they should be as expensive as some of them are

There should be universities with no tuition fees, but the government shouldn't take this step

Yes, but don't use more taxpayer money either.

Universities should be free. Everyone has the right to an education, but then people are struggling to pay a quarter of the fees.

people should only be charged tuition on their final year, because we have the right to learn. we should only be charged for the final year that we graduate, we still should pay for our own books ad etc,

Regardless, privatize education and let the free market determine the tuition rates, allow both public and private choices. We cannot afford this right now, until we deal with spending, debt and inflation.

The tuition rate should be based on the job salary average that the tuition could get and if they earn over $95,000 from their job after graduation they can afford to pay it back.

post secondary tuition subsidies should in proportion to students qualifications and need for their fields. dumb students taking studying popular fields should pay full.

Yes, but make the cap relatively high to prevent unreasonable tuition fees.

Yes, but only to the people who deserve it

Both collage and university should have free schooling for trades or stem cell courses But if your takeimg some liberal arts they you should pay out of your own pocket.

No, unless the Federal government is going to take over funding of the post secondary institutions.

Yes. but do it in increments.

Free for Canadian students.

Yes, except tbe large foreign students we feign over to get their 4x fees paid in cash ad will get preferential placement.

No, but artificial demand necessitates government intervention.

Free education to those who work hard and have proven ability in their field with a promise of employment in their field at the end

private schools can compete with pricing

University and College in Canada should be free for all students if they were BORN in Canada

If you have exceptional prerequisites so A+s in all classes in 12th Grade, then education should be paid for by the government.

I believe that post secondary education is over required. If we continue this I believe education should be government funded while still requiring test scores to enter.

Yes and the government should provide free university education but with conditions-such as “upon successful completion” to avoid paying for university for students who will not use the education provided to enter and advance in a given field

No, but remove government subsidies for all schools that charge disproportionately high rates.

Don’t know enough about post secondary tuition to make a comment on this question.

Education should be available to those who seek it.

Tuition free education for the most talented students who pass stringent exams.

Should be provincial decision.

Yes, and cheaper university

more or less

It all depends on a situation. I think each university should set their own tuition rates. Thus, students will have a choice of a lower-cost university.
P.S. If government decides to raise tuitiion rates, students should have more chances of getting a scholarship

i feel like it should be the same as getting a school fee and the end because in the end its just the basic right to learn

Yes, but only for Canadian Born citizens. International Students should have no cap

The entire post secondary education system needs and overhaul. Too expensive and too many degrees that are not practical or useful

It’s a provincial issue, and the federal government should mind its own business.

Government should stop subsidizing loan.

Cap tuition for Canadians, with first right to acceptance to Canadians, then top off fields with foreign students

Tuition should be free. Period.

I don't really understand

Remove the government involvement in post secondary

No but make efforts to reduce cost.

It should be free for the progression of the country itself

Don't understand this but sure, I support it I guess, not too important to me.

Regardless, the government should subsidize/incentivize distance learning

Limit tuition to actual funding the student needs for their course that relate to (ex. programming course for robotics, instead of dance course) one clearly has need over the other.

A cap should be set an should be reviewed and potentially changed every 10 years to allow for our education system to grow without leaving poorer individuals behind

Don’t leave Students in mountains of debt. End of story.

To that level that makes if fair for the students, professors, and the taxpayer.

We should all be peace loving monkeys who can reside where we please. I do side with the majority if it is over 70% because I lack any confidence in my opinions.

Regulates hit that all get out of it

Yes and the government should provide free university education. The idea that people need to go hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt is an incredibly insane prospect.

the chance for an individual to pursue a higher level of education should be made available to everyone, regardless of their finances.
