There are nearly 50 colleges and universities in the province of Ontario, and they're all screaming for more money. It's a complicated problem. They say the province doesn't fund them enough. They say the federal government cost them nearly $2 billion by cutting back on visa for foreign students, who pay six or seven times the tuition of Canadian students. And the province has frozen tuition fees for the past five years and will do so for another three, which will deprive the post-secondary of even more money. For insight, we welcome: Peggy Sattler, NDP MPP for London West; Adil Shamji, Liberal MPP for Don Valley East; Mike Schreiner, leader of the Green Party of Ontario and the MPP for Guelph; and Alex Usher, president of Higher Education Strategy Associates.
