I like the law, but the timing is no good. We need to avoid a Deficit and this seems to risk putting us into one. Maybe next year/Budget it can be done without a Deficit risk.

This is obviously a political move by the Liberals and possibly a successful one as well. Now the refusal to Cut Taxes shoe is on the other foot. May work, may not work. Most likely just a ploy to test the water, see if there's a bump in support and if there is make this a center piece of an Election Platform.

And so the snowball effect beings. With price tag on this pretty piece of legislation rising ever so fast is it still a good thing for Canada? You may get the tax write off but over all you're taxes will go up to support it so you'll end up paying for it in the end anyways.

Introducing legislation in this manner is extremely irresponsible. If the Liberals truly wanted it why didn't they include it in their budget amendments?

And I wonder how the provinces feel about taking into consideration that it will cost them over 450 million as well even though they did not budget for it either.

I just want to emphasize one point from this article:

$1:

Don Drummond, now chief economist at the TD Bank, also said the plan is "bizarre" because it will do more to help students from high-income families than those from low-income families access a postsecondary education.

This is a BAD piece of legislation.
