Episode Notes McGill University has a new draw for Canadians worried about rising tuition fees. Late in December, they announced the $3,000-per-year Canada Award, which will offset Quebec's tuition hike for around 80 percent of next year's out-of-province students. The award will be automatically applied to incoming students in all faculties except engineering and business. It will renew throughout their degree for up to four years. Fabrice Labeau, Deputy Provost of Student Life and Learning, joins CKUT to discuss the award and the way McGill is responding to the uncertainty surrounding the hikes.
