Statement made on 29 October 2009 by Senator Catherine Callbeck

Hon. Catherine S. Callbeck:

Honourable senators, last week representatives from the Canadian Federation of Students were on the Hill talking to parliamentarians. One of their concerns is about the Canada Graduate Scholarships Program through the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.

Their concern is that when the government invested in this program last spring, it limited funding only to graduate students pursuing a business-related degree.

My question to the Leader of the Government is: Why did the government limit this funding to studies pertaining to a business-related degree?
