ON MPP criticizes Bill 33, calls on ON to fix postsecondary funding

Government of Ontario MPP Ted Hsu recently spoke to the Kingston Whig-Standard about his concerns about Bill 33. Hsu asserted that the provincial government “broke postsecondary funding” and called the proposed bill a distraction from the province’s neglect of university funding. He further stated that decisions about what is essential on campus should be made by students. “The government might want to focus more attention than is merited on the student fee issue, just so that they have less people focused on the overall funding of the universities (in Ontario) which is low per student funding — the lowest of all provinces in the country,” said Hsu. “It’s a big problem that’s not being addressed properly.”
