Orders of the Day

Ordres du jour

Opposition Day

Jour de l’opposition

Marit Stiles moved,

Marit Stiles a proposé,

Whereas the Ford government's cuts to OSAP while lifting the tuition freeze will leave students buried in long-term debt and unable to build a future after graduation, or force students to reconsider attending college or university; and
Whereas young people in Ontario are facing a dual crisis of sky-high unemployment and rising unaffordability as the cost of tuition, rent, groceries, and transportation is rising faster than students' incomes; and
Whereas the government justified cutting the grant share of OSAP from 85 to 25 percent and reduced eligibility for students attending private career colleges during this affordability crisis, citing unsustainability and misuse of OSAP by students; and
Whereas the government was warned about suspicious activity at Career Colleges but failed to take timely action, and their failures in oversight resulted in students being locked out of post-secondary education; 
Whereas Conservative members of the House have received over $150,000 in donations from private career college executives while in office; and
Whereas the government had the opportunity to listen to students, families, and educators and support the Official Opposition's motion to reverse cuts to OSAP;
Therefore, the Legislative Assembly calls on the Ford government to provide a plan, within 14 days, for immediate relief for students who have been left to bear the consequences of this government's failure of oversight of private career colleges.

Debate arose and after some time,
