Jagmeet Singh, leader of the NPD party, proposes forgiving up to $20,000 of student loan debt and doubling student grants, as well as giving new graduates a five-year grace period for federal loan payments. This is based on the fact that, according to studies, in recent years, numerous students have been unable to repay their academic loans.

I think they shouldn't forgive loan debt but make it cheaper or help students be able to effectively go to school without coming out with 2000 in debt
Free or universal post secondary
Yes, and make post-secondary free.
@96VC4HF2yrs2Y
I think it shouldn't be completely removed but the rate should be lowered and students should have more time to pay the dept
@8VT6SJC4yrs4Y
It depends on the situation. How much money the person owes, what they used the money for, how much they make at the end of their studies/throughout their career.
@8VSSFCLNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Depends on the earning potential of the individual who has the loan
