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.

The right to further your education shouldn't be a dilemma between the ability to pay for food and housing or attend school and be indebted for many years.

Yes, but only for student with good grades and that are Canadian citizens.
@98K7VWH2yrs2Y
No, because I do not believe this would be a wise financial decision for the government, but as a student, yes.
@95N72FT3yrs3Y
I think we should help pay for post secondary in the first place
@8ZFVK9G3yrs3Y
i like to think I'm better than that so i don't have to pay anything but everybody else had to pay every last penny of there tuition
@8VS823M4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if the person can prove that they have made consistent attempts to nullify their debt. (Work records, taxes, etc.)
@8VLCY234yrs4Y
yes, only if they show good credit
@8VJFQJN4yrs4Y
Actually schooling should be free both high school and colleges and universities and yes upon completion of a course a student loan should be forgiven.
@8VJ7CMY4yrs4Y
No, but some other form of assistance in the form of a grant, or lesser forgiveness amount such as $10,000 or just adequately fund post secondaries or colleges better so tuition can he lowered. This needs a multi prong solution.
@99BQR2V2yrs2Y
post secondary schooling should be free, or at the very least cost the same as secondary schooling.
@9958DJ52yrs2Y
Yes, there should be no debt for going to learn if they pass the class is free
The education system should be more privatized.
