"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3520407\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, a few weeks ago, I met with Melissa O\u2019Rourke from Mount Allison University and Luke Robertson from St. Thomas. Both are impressive student leaders who know the difficulties post-secondary students face. They described the benefits of the Canada student grants program, and previously, the Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation. However, the grants program has not been increased since its creation, while tuition and university costs have skyrocketed.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3520408\" data-originallang=\"en\">Could the minister tell us what plans he has to finally make up the difference and increase the Canada grants program for students so that the high cost of post-secondary education is not a factor that discourages people from going to university and college?</p>",

Ils ont d\u00e9crit les avantages du Programme canadien de bourses aux \u00e9tudiants et de la Fondation canadienne des bourses d'\u00e9tudes du mill\u00e9naire, qui l'a pr\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9. Toutefois, ils ont aussi soulign\u00e9 que, depuis la cr\u00e9ation du programme, les bourses n'ont pas augment\u00e9 alors que les frais de scolarit\u00e9 et les co\u00fbts connexes sont mont\u00e9s en fl\u00e8che.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3520408\" data-originallang=\"en\">La ministre pourrait-elle nous dire comment elle envisage de combler enfin l'\u00e9cart et augmenter le financement du Programme canadien de bourses aux \u00e9tudiants, afin d'\u00e9viter que les co\u00fbts prohibitifs de l'\u00e9ducation postsecondaire ne d\u00e9couragent les gens de fr\u00e9quenter les universit\u00e9s et les coll\u00e8ges?</p>"
