The Quebec government is promising to maintain a university tuition hike for out-of-province students despite a court ruling that found the existing policy is not justified.

“We are sticking to our decision,” Higher Education Minister Pascale Déry said Tuesday on social media. “We firmly believe that it is not up to the Quebec government to guarantee financial accessibility to education for non-Quebecers.”
