Students From New Brunswick Bringing Concerns To Parliament Hill

This group could have some tough questions for Senators and MP's in Ottawa.

Over 60 New Brunswick students are in the nation's capital this week for the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations conference.

Some U-N-B Saint John students are in the group and will be on hand for Ottawa Hill day where they can meet with Ministers, MP's and Senators.

They are also there with a mission. The students want lobby the government to remove earnings penalties for students and increase the proportion of up front needs based financial assistance.


They also plan to speak with government members about reforming study permit policies to make Canada an international education destination.
