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 don’t think it’s a good idea to waste money on useless thing and Let the people with student loans suffer
Don't charge interest. Offer free schooling for doctors and nurses with 5 year commitment in rural and isolated communities.
@9MKYHZ711mos11MO
Yes, but only for Canadian citizens and permanent residents and if you move to another country within 5 years of receiving the education you must pay it back
@9STPBP68mos8MO
No, but they should provide support to pay these loans depending on the financial situation of the student
@9FKQVCR2yrs2Y
Only for students that really wants to go to school and finish University.
@958J8R33yrs3Y
Yes, but drop the price by $1000
@8XXCJZH3yrs3Y
I believe we as a nation should forgive debts to poorer people only if they do not misuse the right and continuously not pay tax.
@8VTS2BW4yrs4Y
Yes with strict criteria and only after policies are in place so that it is not abused
@8VRZYWG4yrs4Y
@8VRD2784yrs4Y
Only if the student cannot pay for it in the next 20 to 25 years, or probably only cover for about 20% to 30% if they are in financial crisis (bankrupt, loans, mortgage, etc.).

No but stop charging interest
