Question Period Notes
About this information
In accordance with the Access to Information Act, the government proactively publishes the package of question period notes that were prepared by a government institution for the minister and that were in use on the last sitting day in June and December.
The question period notes may be partially or fully redacted in accordance with the legislation; for example, if the notes contain information related to national security or personal information. (Learn more about exemptions and exclusions.)
If you find a question period note of interest, you may make an access to information request in order to obtain it.
Budget 2025 announced that within Canada, the Government will generally limit access to the Canada Student Grant for Full-time Students to students attending public educational institutions and not-for-profit private institutions, starting in 2026-2027. Pending regulatory approval, this measure would be implemented on August 1, 2026.
Various stakeholders and academics have expressed concerns that Budget 2025 did not commit to extending the temporary increases to Canada Student Grants beyond the 2025-26 academic year. Complaints have been raised that this amounts to a ‘billion dollar cut’ in non-repayable funding available to low-income post-secondary students starting next year.
