August 02, 2024
Universities Canada’s pre-budget submission to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance in advance of Budget 2025
Investing in universities is a direct investment in Canada’s future. A well-educated workforce is the engine of a strong economy, driving innovation and job creation that leads to higher salaries and better job opportunities. Robust economic growth ultimately improves the quality of life of all Canadians.
Universities Canada urges the federal government to:
- Work with universities to boost Canada’s productivity to enhance workforce readiness and drive innovation
- Restore global leadership in education and talent attraction by modernizing Canada’s immigration system
- Support improved university infrastructure
- Enhance research efficiency and security
Investing in universities is not just about individual success; it’s about building a thriving, prosperous Canada. For more details, download Universities Canada’s 2025 pre-budget submission.
