Quebec does not fund English-language institutions, so Alberta should not fund French-language postsecondary programs.
Quebec funds nine English-language postsecondary institutions, three of which are universities. These institutions receive funding from Quebec’s provincial government.
There are three English-language universities in Quebec: Bishop’s, Concordia and McGill. The two latter institutions are world-renowned. There are also six English-language colleges: John Abbott, Dawson, Vanier, Champlain Regional, Heritage et Marianopolis. In addition to these English-language institutions, there are eight institutions where programs in English and French are both offered.
When we examine the provincial funding received by the three English-language universities in 2019, it represents one-third of McGill University’s budget, 52% of Concordia University’s operating budget, and 44% of Bishop’s University’s revenues.
Additionally, Quebec continues to invest in infrastructure upgrades for its English-language postsecondary institutions. For example, in the summer of 2020, the provincial government proposed to allocate funding towards an infrastructure expansion project at Dawson College in Montreal.
