Ontario university students continue to pay the highest tuition fees in the country, while students in Quebec pay the lowest.

A Statistics Canada report says Ontario undergraduates pay an average of $6,307 in tuition. In Quebec, students pay less than half that amount, averaging $2,415.

University students in New Brunswick paid the second highest tuition fees in Canada, averaging $5,516 for the 2010-11 school year.

Across the country tuition fees were higher for undergraduate students, rising an average of four per cent.

The Canadian Federation of Students in Ontario is calling on Premier Dalton McGuinty to do something about the ballooning costs for post-secondary education.

The federation says it's the second year in a row Ontario students paid the highest fees in the country.

The student group represents more than 300,000 college and university students in Ontario.
