He also points to their promised reforms to financial aid, including commitments to eliminate parental and spousal contributions from the assesment of assets in student loans.
The alliance saying they will be reaching out to premier-designate Brian Gallant and whoever he will name as the Minister of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour in the coming weeks.
