Anyways the coles notes of it is that there are 3 tax credits involved when claiming post-secondary education.

- Tuition - For what you pay
- Education - A set amount per month full/part time
- Textbook - Same, a set amount per month full/part time

It appears that they're leaving the Tuition credit alone but eliminating the other two. They claim to be doing this in exchange for 'more scholarships and grants and easier access to them.'

Good luck with that.
This is what you call 'stealing from many to benefit a few'.
