November 8, 1984 (33rd Parliament, 1st Session)

Right Hon. John N. Turner (Leader of the Opposition):

Mr. Speaker, my question is directed to the Right Hon. Prime Minister. It was inconceivable to those of us on this side of the House that there was no mention of post-secondary education in the Throne Speech. On behalf of the students of the University of British Columbia and other universities across the country, does the Prime Minister intend to make it his personal priority when he meets the Premiers at the upcoming summit to place post-secondary education on the agenda? If so, would he consult the students of the country so that they may help set the agenda for the national economic summit?
