Statement made on 24 November 2009 by Senator Elizabeth Hubley

Hon. Elizabeth Hubley:

Honourable senators, it is estimated that between 2001 and 2006, over 10,500 First Nations and Inuit post-secondary students were denied funding to the Post-Secondary Student Support Program, with an additional 2,588 denied in 2007-08.

Will the government remove the 2 per cent cap on funding increases to alleviate the financial barriers affecting First Nations and Inuit peoples?
