Oral Questions
Post-Secondary Education
A question about post-secondary education. The Conservatives asked the government about forgiving student loans for veterinarians and animal health technicians, who are in short supply. The Liberals responded by talking about a new vet school opening in the minister's riding.
“The government program leaves out some jobs. That's unfair. I want veterinarians included too.”
“I'm happy about a new vet school. The government should keep giving out student loans. You're in the way of more loans.”
