Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he does not want to raise tuition for post-secondary students, despite colleges and universities struggling financially and a panel that recommended otherwise.
Ford’s government cut tuition by 10 per cent in 2019 for Canadian students and froze it.
A government-commissioned “blue-ribbon panel” recommended the province unfreeze tuition, raise student aid and increase operating grants to the schools.
The province has not said how it will respond to the panel’s report other than saying it would work with the schools to find efficiencies, something Ford reiterated.
