Top Ten Reasons for Students to Vote

Since 1993, the Chrétien government has slashed $5.2-billion in federal transfers for post-secondary education.

Canadian Alliance leader Stockwell Day thinks transfer payments to the provinces for education and health care are “intrusive” and would consider

. abolishing them altogether.

Chrétien proposes to spend $100-billion of the projected $130-billion surplus on tax cuts, primarily for wealthy Canadians.

Stockwell Day wants to spend even more -- $125-billion or 96% of the projected surplus -- on tax cuts.

In the past decade, tuition fees have increased on average 126% in Canada and an astounding 208% in Alberta under Stockwell Day.

Chrétien has offered no significant plans to reduce student debt, now averaging $25,000 at graduation. His Millennium Scholarship Fund will help only 7% of all students, and virtually none in Ontario and Nova Scotia.

Stockwell Day wants to replace the Canada Student Loan Program with a funding model known as an “income contingent repayment loan scheme” that would see tuition fees and student debt skyrocket.

Youth voter turnout is lower than any other demographic in Canada.

“If the federal government has the fiscal capacity to help students with college loans, then they have too much fiscal capacity.” (Stockwell Day, May 23, 2000)
