Budget 2019 brings welcome investments for students. It does not address however, key challenges facing Canada's colleges and universities, resulting from stagnant government funding for core operating costs. Budget 2019 commitments to making post-secondary more affordable average around $650 million per year for five years and include investments in training for working adults, Indigenous students, graduate students, student loan recipients, with additional measures for those with disabilities, and supports for apprenticeships. Like previous Liberal budgets, Budget 2019 invests in an ambitious work-integrated learning (WIL) for students promising 84,000 new placements by 2023. The budget also committed funding for a new federal drug agency to develop a national formulary, as well as new funding for medicines for rare diseases. Budget 2019 built on previous Liberal budgets, investing more on the basic research agenda, student affordability, and Indigenous education. These are welcome moves; however, Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) will be looking to see commitments to a bold vision to ensure the sustainability of Canada's post-secondary education system. Ongoing challenges of affordability, accessibility and quality need to be addressed to ensure the economic, social and cultural success of our country.
