To Mrs. Courchesne, Minister of Education and
M. Bachand Minister of Finance and Revenue
Hello,
Your government has indicated, repeatedly, that rising tuition fees had no effect on university enrollment.
A- I want you to know that this is the graduation rate to be observed. And rising tuition 1990-1995 had a negative effect on graduation rates in Quebec.
B- Resulting in losses of tens of billions of revenues to different levels of government since the increase.
Accordingly:
1- Would you please send me a copy of the forecast balance of savings in expenditure by the Department of Education, following the proposed increase, Tuition for 50 years?
A- And the cost of additional interest on loans, fees for additional scholarships, charge for loans in default that will be reimbursed by the Government.
B- Including loss of income taxes and taxes for different levels of government, following the decrease in the number of university graduates, as major taxpayers.
C- Including the costs caused by rising unemployment, rising insurance costs social, rising costs of mental health, source reduction of taxes – following the reduction of business creation by academics and reducing start-ups with foreign and local investments – lack of sufficient skilled labor, etc.
2- and also please tell me what steps you have planned to help part-time students in case of rising tuition? The increase 1990-1995 causing a decrease 20 % the number of part-time students and that number was never restored to 50 % the number of students enrolled, as was the case before the rise of 1990.
