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)

Remove subsidies to universities who have too much money towards administration
@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.
@8Z8998R3yrs3Y
Government leaders and corporate leaders must speak with education institutions regarding their high tuition prices and retained earnings pool
@8VWS3Q34yrs4Y
Add more subsidies for Canadian citizens in matters of school tuition .
