This week, three hundred thousand students from 178 associations are boycotting their classes in Quebec to protest the provincial government's decision to raise tuition fees $325 a year for the next five years. CBC radio in Quebec City interviewed Erika Shaker, director of the CCPA's Education Project, about the relationship between fees and accessibility to higher education, as well as the social and economic benefits of public investment in our colleges and universities.

The CCPA’s bold vision and creative solutions help us imagine better futures for all. Its efforts to build bridges between labour, industry, and civil society and mentor young activists lay the foundation for realizing those provocative futures. I consider my support for the CCPA an investment in a better future for British Columbia.
