OSAP changes will be revealed soon, Premier Doug Ford says
The province will unveil changes to OSAP, likely next week, said Premier Doug Ford as private career colleges and students continue to struggle without access to aid.
“We’re moving as quickly as possible,” Ford said at an unrelated announcement in Peterborough on Monday morning when asked about the temporary ban on student aid over concerns about systemic abuse at private institutions.
“We called in the OPP. We’ve called in the auditors. We told the auditor general as well,” Ford said. “We’re going to catch these bad actors, and they need to go to jail — simple as that. We need to get the money back and invest it into good actors, not bad actors … We are moving as quickly as we possibly can, and our minister is going to come out probably next week and put a reform on OSAP, the way it’s been delivered.”
