Mr. Ignatieff has painted only the broad strokes of his learning plan: ensuring post-secondary education is affordable and investing in early learning and child care, Aboriginal education, literacy programs, language training for immigrants and skills training. But he promises the plan will help create jobs, and he argues that the Conservative government should be investing more in education to boost Canada’s economic recovery instead of giving billions of dollars worth of tax breaks to businesses.

Prisons and planes are not the priorities of Canadians, Mr. Ignatieff said Wednesday at a news conference in Baddeck, N.S., after the Liberal summer caucus meeting. They are more concerned about child care, post-secondary education for their children, retirement security and their health care, he said… “More health, less health care — I just think that’s crucial,” Mr. Ignatieff said. “You’ve got to pull some demand out.” Health prevention and promotion programs, and improving the health of aboriginal people would be part of that initiative.
