Ontario colleges, universities and business groups urge boost in post-secondary funding | CBC News
Briefly

Three major organizations—Ontario Chamber of Commerce, the Council of Ontario Universities, and Colleges Ontario—are advocating for increased funding in Ontario's post-secondary education. Their open letter to government ministers emphasizes the need for enhanced financial support due to the growing economic threats posed by U.S. policies, such as tariffs and manufacturing relocations. The groups stress the importance of investing in talent development and partnerships among government, industry, and academia. They argue that the current funding levels, including a previously announced $1.3 billion investment, are inadequate to sustain the sector amid challenges like low provincial funding and frozen tuition fees.
