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.

Every student in debt should have SOME opportunity to recoup some losses. If we can find enough in the budget for a lump sum, great. If not, students should still be able to contact someone and get some other kind of relief: receiving textbooks in high-demand fields, a set-time living somewhere rent-free, food/bills/amenities, some tuition relief for a career change.
This would only apply to each student once, maybe twice depending on circumstances, to prevent another potential drain on funds by parasitic citizens or students with little-to-no drive or plans.
