A strong voice for Post-Secondary Education - Jean Paterson

Jean Paterson is a very strong voice for young people and for post-secondary education. She has lived life at the University of Manitoba and she knows post-secondary education inside and out. For more than twenty years she has taught students at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Manitoba. She has been nominated for teaching awards, and this is in part because she cares deeply about students and it shows.

I see this day after day on the campaign trail. Jean talks fervently of her passion to help young people (and older people interestingly) get access to the education and training they need to have good opportunities. A vote for Jean Paterson is a vote for a very strong voice for post-secondary education.

It is likely, given recent promises from the federal government, that more funding will come to post-secondary education. But we need Jean Paterson as a Liberal MLA in the provincial chamber as a watchdog to be sure the money actually gets to where it is needed. Too often in the past money which should have come to post-secondary education has been used elsewhere. This must change. Elect Jean Paterson to make sure that post-secondary education gets the support it needs.
