New Democrats stand up for students. We believe they should be able to afford a high-quality post-secondary education – because young people are our future – because we all benefit from a highly-educated workforce – and because no-one should have to mortgage their future to build a better life for themselves.
Dalton McGuinty promised positive change. Instead of progress, we’re seeing the same old approach – more tuition hikes – even though Ontario students already pay tuition fees well above the national average.
The NDP has a fresh idea – the Tuition Hike Ban bill. If passed, the bill would freeze tuition through 2007, then give working families their say on the issue in the next provincial election.
