Ontario has eliminated free tuition for low-income students as it attempts to trim a multibillion-dollar deficit. The previous Liberal government increased the number of grants and made it possible for low-income students to attend college or university free of cost. But the auditor general found last month that costs for that program jumped by 25 per cent and warned it could grow to $2 billion annually by 2020-21. Ontario’s debt was estimated last year to be nearly $350 billion dollars.
