This document is the submission of the Canadian Federation of Students to the 2006 federal budget consultation. It discusses the decline in government funding for post-secondary education over the past 15 years, which has led to rising tuition fees and student debt. This impairs access to education, especially for those from low-income backgrounds. The submission makes three recommendations: 1) create a post-secondary education cash transfer to reduce tuition and improve quality, guided by a Post-Secondary Education Act; 2) replace the Millennium Scholarship Foundation with a national needs-based grant system; and 3) phase out education tax credits and use the savings for needs-based grants.

The document is a submission from the Canadian Federation of Students to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance regarding financial barriers to access in post-secondary education. It argues that rising student debt levels, which average over $25,000, are a primary factor limiting access for students from low-income families.

It recommends increasing the value of needs-based grants while eliminating savings programs like Registered Education Savings Plans that primarily benefit higher-income families.

2. Tax expenditures directed at post-secondary education, like tax credits and RESPs, disproportionately benefit wealthier families and do little to improve access or relieve student debt for low-income students.
3. The recommendations are to phase out education tax credits and apply the savings to needs-based grants, replace the Millennium Scholarship Foundation with a national system of needs-based grants, remove funding caps on
