YES - I think the Federal government should pay the full fee of Bachelor Degree program and 50% for Master's program (PHD is full responsibility of student). But all recipients must work 5 consecutive years within Canada or for a Canadian owned company; if they choose not to, then the full cost of university will have to be repaid within 5 - 8 years.

Yes and the government should work towards making tuition more affordable for post secondary students first while making the transition to free post secondary education.

No, Universities need to course correct on their business models as the overly inflated cost of faculty and staffing resources soars higher each year and government grant fund is decreasing. Capping tuition would just bankrupt Universities.

They should be lowered and capped for persons 18-35 born in Canada, and for people who have been educated and employed in the country for 6 years combined. International students should have no cap.

Yes, but this policy should be paired with increased public funding for universities to avoid compromising the quality of education.

No, do not cap, however, reward completion of programs and tuition forgiveness for students who within 4 years of a drop out have become productive members of society.

Education is a provincial responsibility. I believe that the provinces should cap tuition or make university free.
