More than 20,000 students at McGill and Concordia universities are set to strike for a week on Monday to protest the Quebec government's tuition hikes for out-of-province and international students.
With the amount of international students being brought in, I thought this was to be expected? Unless they cut the bloat in their systems (which I feel is the least likely it has seemed) then tuition of local students will have to be increased to make up for that lost income.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that the government would see this need for more income through local students/the set of international students they have coming in, so they’d have to raise it for the schools themselves.
It’s more just a money in/money out comment. Not sure I said it was the universities increasing the tuition themselves.

The Quebec government is increasing costs for domestic students, independent of the announced changes for international students.
They can’t increase local tuition since it’s set by the government.

The government also sets the out-of-province and international tuition.
