“According to Piccini, the six month grace period...will remain. However, interest will accrue on the loans immediately after graduation.” Look out for more coming out this weekend from @TheVarsity !! #ONpoli #ONpse

We will be conducting a second interview with MPP David Piccini tomorrow. Still unclear about the provincial government’s recent announcements on OSAP, tuition, and service fees? Reply to this tweet or DM with any questions you’d like us to ask him.

Piccini also had some thoughts about the Student Choice Initiative and students comparing opting out of “non-essential” student fees to not paying taxes for certain services. My latest from @TheVarsity (3/3)

. @kristynwongtam isn't currently considering a bid for #ONDP leadership, but doesn't completely rule it out. Her name has been tossed around but mostly from people around her, not by Wong-Tam herself. #onpoli
