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.

Yes, and actively work to lower tuition and hold universities accountable for what they charge.
only for those that did good
Tuition costs are out of control and student debt interest is predatory.
Yes, but only for low income
That could depend on the income of the student.
Yes, but only for Canadian permanent residents
if they are poor absolutely
Yes for Canadian and resident students. For anyone in medical school (doctors or nurses), if the student passes, all tuition and books should be free. If they don't pass, they must pay the full tuition.
Education should be free, in order for Earth to move forward.
Depends on the amount of tuition paid... tax break or loan break of 15-20% of the loan taken out would be better because then there's still income coming in from the loans but the students have some reprive.
No, but reduce interest rates for low-income students with excellent grades.
