The speech, which opened the legislative session, provides general outlines of the Liberals' five-year plan to get the province's economy back on track, with promises to create nearly one million jobs over the next decade. International Education The government promises to create 20,000 new post-secondary spaces this fall - the funding will be announced in the budget - and says it wants to increase the number of foreign students studying in Ontario to about 54,000 from 37,000.

"The Liberals hope to increase post-secondary spaces for foreign students - by as much as 50 per cent - and use the extra money to help fund costs for Ontario students. The speech said Ontario will "aggressively" promote Ontario's post-secondary institutions abroad "while maintaining spaces for Ontario students."
