Obtaining a post-secondary education is considered a long term asset as it will continue to generate
income. The integrity of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency system would be undermined if the
debtor were to retain the entire benefit of the asset without the creditors having a
share. This was held in a decision of the Court of Queens Bench of Alberta Re Dolgetta at
para. 45 (2008 ABQB 556 Canlii).[1] This view is usually followed in cases where the
debtor evades repaying the student loan, despite having received employment as a result of the education.
