Move:
“WHEREAS
many graduate students in this Province, and in the whole country, are
currently experiencing severe financial difficulty because of high student loan
debt;
AND
WHEREAS many of these graduates had no other alternative but to accumulate
debt in order to fund their education;
AND
WHEREAS many of these graduates will have their lives put on hold while
they pay off this debt;
AND
WHEREAS this Provincial Government in its 2007 budget reduced the interest
rate on the provincial portion of student loans to prime, offered needs-based
grants and held the line on tuition;
THEREFORE
BE IT RESOLVED that this House of Assembly calls upon the Federal
Government to also reduce the interest rate on its portion of student loans to
prime;
AND
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this House of Assembly ask the other provinces
and territories to support this action by passing a similar motion in their
respective legislatures.”
