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.

Only for Canadian citizens and it should be scaled based on the program (I.e arts degrees should not get as much as engineering)
@B35Q7K52mos2MO
Higher education for Canadian citizens should be low fee or not-for-profit, or fees reimbursed upon entry into qualified employment.

If the government forgave all the student loan debt which is 1.7 million Canadian students according to google.com Justin Trudeau, wouldn't have all that juicy tax money
@8VQY2X84yrs4Y
i believe the government should give no more then $15 000
@8VNCMQQ4yrs4Y
for those coming from low-income family yes.
@8VHRB9R4yrs4Y
This would be a massive wealth transfer from poor Canadians to the highest income earners. NO
@9B3WYZX2yrs2Y
No, these are adults who must learn the importance of responsibility. Nobody forced you to take that student loan, so if you made that choice, you should use it wisely to acquire as much knowledge as you can in university so that you can go on to secure a good job to pay that debt back.
Yes because most people go into debt because of student loans
@8VWS3Q34yrs4Y
Add more subsidies for Canadian citizens in matters of school tuition .
