When the Ontario Liberals swept into power in 2003, one of their first moves was to freeze tuition until the fall of 2006. For months students, parents and university administrators have been waiting to see by how much schools can increase their fees. And still, they wait. Tuition in Ontario is an average of $5,000 per year for an undergraduate student, one of the highest in the country. The tuition freeze in Ontario was a good step, but some provinces have done more. In Manitoba, a four-year tuition freeze followed a 10 per cent tuition reduction in 2000, the same amount by which tuition was lowered at Memorial University in Newfoundland in 2001.
