Today the Liberal unveiled the Learning Passport. This will provide $1,000 a year to every student in post-secondary education, $1,500 for students from low-income families. This tax-free cash will provide a huge boost to cash strapped families who have been suffering to afford putting their kids through school with the rising tuition rates in recent years. It will also allow students to attends a post-secondary institution who otherwise couldn’t have afforded to go.Given today’s economy we need to get more people attending a post-secondary insitutions to remain competitive. This policy takes great strides in that direction.How are the Liberals going to pay for it? By rolling back those corporate tax cuts. This is a great strategy because it presents voters with a clear choice: money for their kids education, or money for big banks, big oil and foreign corporations.
