With Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) members on the front lines of teaching and research across the country, they are uniquely placed as active participants and keen observers of Canada's postsecondary education system. CAUT bring an informed assessment of what it needs to better help drive Canada's post-pandemic social, environmental, and economic recovery agenda. Key to the new post-pandemic normal will be strong public investment in post-secondary education. Strong federal leadership is needed now to improve affordability and access by reversing a decade of chronic public underfunding and needed to develop a national vision for the postsecondary education, supported by predicable and sustainable funding. In this report, CAUT makes six recommendations for Budget 2022: (1) Develop a national post-secondary education strategy; (2) Create a federal post-secondary education secretariat; (3) Support basic research; (4) Improve affordability for students; (5) Collect better data on post-secondary education; and (6) Invest in Indigenous education.
