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, 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.

 @B2CHY7Wfrom Alberta  answered…2wks2W

tuition should be capped to those who can't afford but still want/need education so taxes won't get too high but still affordable

 @8CDLTDLfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

No, however one's inability to afford the schooling tuition should not jeopardize their ability to get accepted into the school.

Yes, but only to Canadian born citizens. And limit number of foreign students so universities do not just take foreign students for the money
