Advocacy groups such as the Fédération des cégeps are calling on the Government of Québec’s higher education minister Martine Biron to lift the hiring freeze and other caps on cégeps in the province. Éric Cyr of the Fédération du personnel professionnel des collèges explained that cégeps are currently facing a three-way budgetary restriction, composed of a hiring freeze, a paid hours cap, and cuts. Radio-Canada reports that the advocates are encouraging Biron to follow the example of the Sonia LeBel, QC’s new minister of education, who recently reversed her predecessor’s imposed hiring caps.
