Integrate financial literacy into the K-12 curriculum

"A re-elected Progressive Conservative government would introduce common sense financial literacy curriculum throughout the education system. By the time a student graduates high school, they will have learned how to open a bank account and build a household budget. The new curriculum will help students understand:

● the difference between debit and credit

● interest and inflation

● different borrowing mechanisms such as mortgages, leases and loans

● savings tools such as Registered Retirement Savings Plans, Tax Free Savings Accounts, Registered Education Savings Plans; and

● the difference between stocks, bonds, Guaranteed Incomes Certificates, and more."
