Lowest Post-Secondary Tuition in Canada

Preamble

Whereas: Saskatchewan has among the highest tuition fees in Canada;

Whereas: This increases the risk of losing students to out-migration to other provinces offering more competitive tuition rates;

Whereas: Saskatchewan needs to grow its population to grow its economy;

Whereas: If students leave Saskatchewan for other provinces, they will at least inform their new communities of this Saskatchewan education advantage;

Direction

Be It Resolved That: A SPP government will mandate that all post-secondary institutions in Saskatchewan set tuition rates to 5% less than the lowest rates in all other provinces for comparable programs.
