"This is a good policy. It will increase opportunities for young people to get the high quality educations they so urgently require." In the May budget, wc committed $29 million annually of new funds. This is the largest funding increase since the I980's. In addition, we dedicated $150 million to double the number of student spaces in engineering and computer computer science. These programs programs are where the jobs are. On the tuition side, it is important to recognize that some students receive more value for their tuition fees. For instance, Arts students pay a greater share of their cost 'ban Dentistry (17.691,. Law (29.1 %), Medicine (6.5%), Business (25.5%). Ask yourself the question, who should pay the real cost of education, those who benefit benefit directly or the taxpayers taxpayers of Ontario? Should there be some pressure on the institutions to offer information to students regarding employment prospects. I believe that wc need a balance. Ontario has a higher participation rate at post secondary institutions than all other provinces. Our proposed changes will direct funding to improve quality and accessibility. accessibility. Enrollment alone will not deliver accountability. accountability. Wc are proposing performance based funding funding based on Graduate Employment, Graduate Satisfaction and Employer Report from Queen's Park by John O'Toole Satisfaction. Tuition is an investment in the student's future and they need an index to determine where to invest. Wc, as a province, must continue to invest in the future as well. The province spends approximately $6583.00 for a college student and $7,896.00 per university student per year. In a Statistics Canada report, there is clear evidence evidence that the higher the education, the higher the success in the job market. Our changes now require 30% of all post secondary tuition increases will have to be set aside to assist students students in need. We are increasing OSAP by $30 million and by $80 million beyond. Our goal is to ensure that every student who has the ability should not be denied access. For every $1 the federal gov ernment invests in post secondary education, the province of Ontario invests $22. College and University Boards of Governors ultimately ultimately decide their tuition schedule, not the province. College and University have budget choices to make and must make every effort to make best use of student tuition and taxpayers' money. I would be interested in meeting with students to hear their views on this issue. For further information on this topic, call my constituency office. Education and health care continue to be the most important issues. To keep a balance of priorities, priorities, I often remind myself of the message, a society is often assessed by the way it treats its most vulnerable members.
