text: Why should taxpayers fund and/or subsidize university tuition and related costs at all? In my opinion, the full real cost of most post-secondary tuition should be charged to student accounts and be repayable based on income for up to 20 years following graduation. And upon emigration from Canada any balance owing should be repayable in a lump sum. We're currently funding a lot of graduates in the medical and technological professions who are simply leaving the country, offering Canadian taxpayers and the Canadian economy little or no value for money. And qualifications inflation outside of the major professions is a major problem as well, which is something we shouldn't encourage. It's time to rethink the whole system from the ground up.
