OTTAWA — Quebec's plan to nearly double tuition for out-of-province students beginning next year is being questioned by federal politicians and members of the business community.
The province announced Friday that tuition for students from other provinces will rise to $17,000 from $8,992 for the 2024-25 academic year, and the province will skim the first $20,000 paid by international students to be reinvested in French-language universities.
Quebec Premier François Legault defended the move today, saying the influx of English-speaking students is a danger to the survival of the French language, and Quebec taxpayers shouldn't have to subsidize out-of-province students, many of whom do not stay after graduation.
