The hon. member voted against that too.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1824119\" data-originallang=\"en\">We are working to make sure that every young person, every adult, who needs and wants further education can access it. That is why we are also providing the colleges and universities with funding. They all appreciate it. So should he.</p>",

Notre gouvernement a remplac\u00e9 cette fondation par un programme de subventions non remboursables pour permettre aux \u00e9tudiants de famille \u00e0 revenu faible ou moyen d'obtenir jusqu'\u00e0 250 $ par mois pour \u00e9tudier \u00e0 l'universit\u00e9. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a vot\u00e9 contre cela \u00e9galement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1824119\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous veillons \u00e0 ce que chaque jeune et chaque adulte qui d\u00e9sire ou qui doit pousser plus loin ses \u00e9tudes puisse le faire. C'est pourquoi nous fournissons aussi du financement aux coll\u00e8ges et aux universit\u00e9s. Tous les b\u00e9n\u00e9ficiaires ont appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 ce financement, et le d\u00e9put\u00e9 devrait l'appr\u00e9cier \u00e9galement.</p>"
