Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made his way to Victoria this week, appearing at the University of Victoria to tout his government’s plans to boost funding for research and post-secondary education.
“We need to attract, develop and retain top research talent,” he said. “And this is exactly what these measures will do.”
This plan comes in the form of $4.6 billion in new funding for grants, facilities, scholarships and other student-centred affordability efforts.
