Jagmeet Singh, leader of the NPD party, proposes forgiving up to $20,000 of student loan debt and doubling student grants, as well as giving new graduates a five-year grace period for federal loan payments. This is based on the fact that, according to studies, in recent years, numerous students have been unable to repay their academic loans.

Abolish the education debt system and create a free education system, it is an affordable investment that will increase Canada GDP

Government should address this student loan debt crisis in a way that balances fairness, economic growth and long-term solutions. Forgiving up to $20,000 is a big help to those struggling students with loan debt, but I think this should be paired with actions to prevent future debts for students like affordable education options. With this, fairness and the government responsibility are achieved.

There should be student loan debt to the general amount of what a 2-4 year program costs depending on the program. If a student would like their full student loan debt forgiven if it is over the general amount, they should have a GPA of 3.5-4.0 to have it considered.

If it can be studied and backed with a business plan in an affordable way, and only forgiven for those of low income.
@B2DQ5HF2wks2W
No, but reduce interest rates and monitor diploma mill type of post secondary schooling because the people that run these schools are banking of useless programs that are harming our economy. Our schooling system should be progressive with how we are evolving and offer programs for industries in demand for an updated and fresh work force.
