    BUDGET 2019 PREPARED BY THE CANADIAN FEDERATION OF STUDENTS OF NEWFOUNDLAND & LABRADOR [email protected] https://cfs-fcee.ca/components/nl/ CANADIAN FEDERATION OF STUDENTS NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR Grenfell Campus Student Union Marine Institute Students’ Union Memorial University of Newfoundland Students’ Union Graduate Students’ Union of the Memorial University of Newfoundland College of the North Atlantic Students’ Union Canadian Federation of Students-NL: 2019 Budget Submission EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Canadian Federation of Students and its predecessor organizations have been the democratic voice of Canada’s university and college students for over eighty years. Today the Federation unites over 500,000 university and college students across Canada, including every one of the over 28,000 students enrolled in public post- secondary institutions in Newfoundland and Labrador. The Federation welcomes the opportunity to provide input on the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador’s budgetary visions. Provincial budgets reflect the priorities of the government and thus should reflect the priorities of the people of the province. The provincial budget ought to play an essential role in promoting the economic and social prosperity of our province and its people. While there are many areas that can benefit from government investment, there is arguably no higher priority than investing in post-secondary education, and ultimately, our collective future. Newfoundlanders and Labradorians believe that access to post-secondary education is essential to ensuring the future prosperity of the province. Since 1998, successive governments have implemented tuition fee freezes and reductions, reintroduced upfront need-based grants, and eliminated interest rates charged on student loans. These policy decisions once resulted in the province boasting the most accessible system of post-secondary education in Canada.
