Post-Secondary Education & Jobs Training

Post-secondary funding platforms

Here's what the 2025 Canadian election parties are promising.
We don't have any Liberal policies on Post-secondary funding.

Conservative
  • Require universities to enforce free expression standards matching those of Section 2 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms as a condition for federal funding
We don't have any Bloc policies on Post-secondary funding.
We don't have any NDP policies on Post-secondary funding.

Green
  • Provide direct research funding to Canadian universities, allocated automatically based on graduate student enrolment in thesis-based programmes

    "Provide direct research funding to Canadian universities, allocated automatically based on graduate student enrollment in thesis-based programs, to ensure stable baseline funding for curiosity-driven, early-stage research. This will support long-term scientific inquiry and breakthrough discoveries without the burden of competitive grant applications.

    » Require that all research funded through this program be fully public, preventing the privatization of publicly funded knowledge and ensuring open access for researchers, businesses, and the public."
