"The NDP campaign also calls for:
  • A federal Student Loan Ombudsperson to help navigate the loan system, objectively resolve problems and ensure that students are treated with fairness and respect;
  • Better relief during repayment of student loans, including expanding eligibility for permanent disability benefits, interest relief and debt reduction;
  • Enforceable federal standards governing the conduct of student loan collection agents;
  • Amending the “lifetime limit” so that loans are not repayable until six months after the completion of full-time studies, including doctoral programs and medical residency;
  • Reducing the discriminatory ban on bankruptcy protection for student loans to two years;
  • Addressing the input of the Coalition for Student Loan Fairness and other student groups. "
