Orders of the Day

Ordre du Jour

Opposition Day

Jour de l'opposition

Mrs. Bountrogianni moved,

Mme Bountrogianni propose,

That, in the opinion of this House, the government should stop cutting and start investing in Ontario's colleges and universities now to ensure our students are prepared to meet the social and economic challenges of the future by:

- Freezing tuition fees and re-regulating tuition on post-secondary programs it previously deregulated;

- Increasing financial support to our post-secondary institutions to match the Canadian average level of funding;

- Committing to extra funding specifically to assist universities and colleges prepare for the anticipated "double cohort" of students who will be seeking entry to these institutions in 2003/2004; and

- Resolving that any funding increases for science, information technology and commerce programs are not at the expense of Liberal Arts and Humanities, as our students need a broad base of knowledge and skills to bring innovation to the province of Ontario.
