Description
February 21 Ontario The report of the provincial Conservative government's Interim Committee on Financial Assistance for Students was released. The report recommended that all students be assessed for eligibility for student aid based on their parents' income, or independently if they were legally married. As same sex marriage was not allowed, gay and lesbian students feared that they would be forced into marriages of convenience if they wanted to be considered for financial aid independently. Under the existing program, students were considered independent after a certain period of post-secondary education.
