Ontario, is the Canadian province with the most universities and colleges in Canada. Its 2010 budget provides $310M to add spaces for 20,000 more students in September, after already investing in this way over the past year. The new budget also contains funding to promote Ontario higher education internationally, and to support the implementation of a credit transfer system. All of this is within the Open Ontario Plan for Postsecondary Education.

Isn't there a recession up there?
