Statement made on 08 May 2007 by Senator Claudette Tardif
Hon. Claudette Tardif (Deputy Leader of the Opposition):
Honourable senators, my question is for the Leader of the Government in the Senate. When the Auditor General of Canada tabled her report on Monday, May 1, 2007, she said:
I am pleased about the good management practices we found in these programs aimed at giving young Canadians better access to higher education.
In her report, she came to the conclusion that the Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation is making progress toward improved access to post-secondary education. However, an article in the Ottawa Citizen on May 2, 2007, suggested that the foundation would no longer receive funding in 2008-09.
Can the minister tell us whether funding for the Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation will be renewed?
