The thing is with these cuts that we have a growing province as well. So what seems minor really has more of an impact. I know that the school system is already having difficulty meeting class size targets...how does less money do anything to alleviate this? Its really just an easy solution to the budget, but not the best solution for the province.
You are totally ignoring that the WR budget increases spending proportionally to every new student.

You are arguing that each new student should cost more than the previous student, which is an entirely unsustainable model.

Compound growth, remember?
