In January, the University of Guelph delivered its provincial pre-budget submission to the Ontario Ministry of Finance.
U of G thanked the provincial government for collaborating with the post-secondary sector as the government implements a number of policy initiatives, including the tuition framework, a new funding formula for universities and the Ontario Student Grant (OSAP) reforms.

- Continued support for the agriculture and food sector;
- Further relief from pension solvency requirements;
- Dedicated support for work-integrated learning and the implementation of the Highly Skilled Workforce Strategy; and
- Further support for student well-being, including mental health supports on campus.
