Two Ontario party leaders, Bonnie Crombie (Liberal) and Marit Stiles (NDP), unveiled their strategies to address the youth affordability crisis, emphasizing student debt and unemployment. Crombie plans to eliminate interest on student loans, create 40,000 paid internships, and cap international student enrollment to make room for local students. Stiles proposes introducing rent control, converting student loans into grants, and eliminating interest on loans to relieve financial pressures on students. Both leaders underscore the need for sustainable funding in education and increased access for Ontario students amidst cutting programs.
"Ontario's Liberals have a plan to smash our unemployment rate in half. We're also going to ensure that you have a family doctor, and we're also going to promise you that you won't be saddled with student loans and student debt."
"We need to take the pressure off of students. That means that students are not getting into the programs they need, and of course we need to ensure accessibility to education for everyone."
