Hon. Claudette Tardif (Deputy Leader of the Opposition):

Honourable senators, my question is addressed to the Leader of the Government in the Senate. In yesterday's Speech from the Throne, the government stated:

The bedrock of our workforce is middle-class Canadians and their families. These families worry about the rising costs of higher education . . .

Why did the government not give the issue of post-secondary education the attention it deserves in the Throne Speech?
