The Provincial budget isn't sitting well with the Cypress Hills College, despite an increase of $33.2 million for Advanced Education, Employment, and Labour.

     President of the Cypress Hills College, Mark Frison says the college won't actually see much money.  He explains that for every dollar spent on post-secondary projects in the sSouthwest, $1000 will go toward colleges and universities in Regina and Saskatoon.

     Frison adds that the budget isn't all negative, but he thinks there will be a time when the government will be able to inject its policy into the budget.

     He says the $12 million for graduate-retention programs is important, as the province tries to get more grads to stay in or return to Saskatchewan following post-secondary education.

     Also in the budget was $25.5 million earmarked for the continuing tuition freeze.
