Some of the grads will fill vacancies, some of the grads might have to go to international markets and some grads might sit on their degrees and have to consider a different field but this isn't a concern for the government.

Tuition doesn't cover the full costs though(no idea the %), so every additional student is another taxpayer cost. Which is fine if they stay here, but if 1 in 4 leave because they can't find work in Alberta, it makes sense to cut 25% of spaces.
