AND WHEREAS many of these graduates will have their lives put on hold while they pay off this debt;

AND WHEREAS this Provincial Government in its 2007 budget reduced the interest rate on the provincial portion of student loans to prime, offered needs-based grants and held the line on tuition;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that this House of Assembly calls upon the Federal Government to also reduce the interest rate on its portion of student loans to prime;

AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this House of Assembly ask the other provinces and territories to support this action by passing a similar motion in their respective legislatures.”
