"Young people have said again and again that they need more financial financial assistance to meet growing education education costs and the requirements of a fast changing labour market," said Minister Axworthy. "With this legislation, we propose to sharply increase student loans and to introduce grants for students with disabilities, high-need part-time students students and women in doctoral studies," studies," added the Minister. The Bill delivers on a commitment commitment made by the Government in its Youth and Learning strategy, announced announced on April 15, to reform the Canada Student Loans Program - a program which has not been fundamentally fundamentally changed in almost 30 years. The reform include: • an increase of 57% in the loan limits for students to reflect the growth in education costs borne by students (student loans were frozen by the last government at 1984 levels); levels); • the creation of a national program program of grants to expand opportunities opportunities for students with special needs 'and to assist borrowers to make the transition from school to work by reducing reducing their debtloads on graduation; • improved assistance for part- time students; • new arrangements with lenders to provide borrowers with income- sensitive repayment loans, including a choice of interest rates and expanded expanded interest relief during periods of unemployment or under employment. "I have also invited my provincial colleagues to identify opportunities for program harmonization and pilot projects to test out income contingent contingent repayment loans," added Minister Minister Axworthy. The proposed legislation will enable enable the government to enter into arrangements arrangements with provinces to streamline streamline the financing and delivery of student assistance programs and to explore new approaches to student aid. An opting-out provision for provinces provinces and territories choosing to operate operate their own student loan schemes will continue to be a feature of the program. Funding for this initiative was provided for in the February 1994 federal budget and is therefore built into the existing fiscal framework. This initiative is an example of how this government is prioritizing its spending so that it can better serve Canadians by making efficient use of their tax dollars.
