Bill C-260

44th Parl. 1st Sess.
March 24, 2022
Canada Post-Secondary Education Act
  • Bill C-260 is a bill that establishes criteria and conditions for cash contributions by Canada towards post-secondary education. These criteria must be met by the provinces before they can receive funding. The bill aims to protect and promote access to post-secondary education, ensure quality education, and encourage financial assistance programs for students. It also addresses issues of academic independence and fair employment practices. The bill allows for the reduction or withholding of funding if a province or its educational institutions fail to meet the criteria. The Minister of Employment and Social Development is responsible for overseeing the implementation of this Act and preparing an annual report on its administration. The Government of Quebec has the option to be exempted from some provisions of this Act while still receiving funding.
