Languages Canada is very pleased with Minister Morneau’s attention to international education in the budget and the government’s clear support for our sector.  The $147.9 million (Cdn) over five years to support promotion and outbound student mobility demonstrates that the government is listening to the sector in terms of strategic direction.  The ongoing $8 million per year afterwards is an initial commitment to long term investment and a recognition that the sector is here to stay.
