Proposal calls for additional tuition to be paid after graduation
From The Montreal Gazette:
About 800 delegates to a weekend convention of the Quebec Liberal Party’s youth wing will debate the doubling of university tuition fees, to about $6,000 a year, and a proposal for refunds of union dues.
. . .The youth wing proposal to raise Quebec’s tuition fees, now the lowest in Canada, to the Canadian average, goes beyond the Charest government’s plan to phase in a $500 annual tuition increase over five years.Under an innovative proposal, students would not have to pay the additional tuition burden right away, but only after they graduate.
They would pay a percentage of their additional debt in the form of a so-called “post-graduate tax.” Details as to how much they would repay and for how many years have not been worked out.
