Negotiations hit an impasse

Negotiations between student union leaders and the provincial Liberals are at a standstill.

In a report by the CBC, the government pulled out of negotiations session on Thursday afternoon after both appear to have hit an impasse.

FEUQ president Martine Desjardins said the government didn’t fully evaluate the students’ proposal and was sticking to its proposal. The Liberals offered to lower tuition hikes from two-hundred fifty four dollars to two hundred nineteen dollars a year over seven years.

CLASSE spokesman Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois called for renewed protests to denounce the government.

Public protests against tuition hikes and Bill 78 have taken over Montreal, Quebec City and most recently other Quebec communities.
