International students have been dominating headlines ever since federal immigration minister Marc Miller announced a cap on student visas to cool overheated rental markets. 

The decision will hurt post-secondary schools' bottom lines at a time when they've been facing stagnant provincial funding and flat tuition revenues. 

Earlier this week, Colleges and Universities Minister Jill Dunlop announced a bailout package that came in well short of what a provincially-appointed expert panel said was needed to keep the sector afloat. 

Mike Moffatt, founding director of the PLACE Centre, joins us to get you up to speed on the issue and talk about where it goes from here.
