QCGN says ‘no’ to tuition hikes
Eric Girard, the Quebec finance minister also responsible for relations with English-speaking Quebecers, suggested last week he is monitoring reaction to the government’s controversial decision to double tuition for university students from the rest of Canada – but he provided no details. The Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN), the English-speaking community, and, indeed, a multitude of other concerned parties remain “eager to hear the results” of any intervention he may have made or may be considering on this exceptionally high-priority subject, says Sylvia Martin-Laforge, the QCGN’s director-general.
