Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question follows up from my statement. Clearly one incentive my constituent had for going back to school was the financial attractiveness for remissible loans. She got into the program with this incentive from the government only to have it changed to a much less beneficial program, just like a shopper going into a store for a product advertised at a low price only to be told there are no more available, but there is something available at a higher price. Student financial assistance is now offered as part of a bait and switch campaign.
Mr. Speaker, will the Minister responsible for Education, Culture and Employment stand behind the promises made by his staff and grandfather students whose entitlements were reduced with the recent changes to the student financial assistance program?
