The National Post: Abolish tuition fees, Liberal Senator says

OTTAWA – Canada should abolish tuition fees for all post-secondary students because everyone needs a college or university education these days to compete in the global economy, says Senator Elizabeth Hubley.

The Liberal Senator from Prince Edward Island is hoping to jump-start a debate that has played out internationally but has been muted in Canada, about whether an economy with a shortage of skilled workers can benefit from offering up free education for all.
