With a quick Google, I came up with an article on the cost of Univeristy in Eastern Canada:
Quote:
According to Statistics Canada, Nova Scotia and P.E.I. are enjoying the largest tuition decreases in the country, while Newfoundland has seen a 23-per-cent drop since 2001, followed by a sustained tuition freeze.
As a result, Newfoundland, with an average of $2,633, is second only to Quebec ($2,025) in charging the lowest fees.
P.E.I. posted the country's largest decrease, down 9.8 per cent from last year, to an average of $4,440.
And while Nova Scotia, at an average of $5,878, still has the country's highest fees, it has lowered tuition by 8.5 per cent.
Only New Brunswick, which has the second-highest tuition in Canada, has so far resisted slashing fees. Instead, rates have gone up by 4.8 per cent -- the steepest jump in the country -- putting average tuition at $5,733.

If $5,733 is the second highest in the nation, then that would explain his sticker shock.
