We are grateful to @GregMcLeanYYC , @HedyFry , @LeahGazan and @kbardeesy for helping our student leaders access Question Period today and yesterday. Thank you for giving us the space to get involved and push for better student support across Canada! 🇨🇦✨
CASA is in Ottawa this week, discussing the precarity of Canada Student Grant funding. Thank you, @GarnettGenuis, for sharing these concerns that we talked about yesterday. CASA is eager to continue raising these and other student issues with the Shadow Minister and all MPs.
I asked this Liberal Minister whether they would be cutting student grants next year.
The Minister didn't know, and the Deputy Minister said they hadn't decided yet.
We're in a student unemployment crisis and these people are supposed to be running the country.
Thank you, @PattyHajdu, for meeting with students and listening to CASA's advocacy for a strong Canada Student Grants program and apprenticeship supports. We look forward to continuing our conversations about building an affordable and high-quality post-secondary sector in 🇨🇦
Students have hit the ground running for CASA's 2025 Advocacy Week, with 90+ students attending over 100 meetings with Ministers, Members of Parliament and Senators in under 5 days.
