Most Canadians know that registered education savings plans are a great way to save for a child's post-secondary education. But despite their popularity, many people are still confused about how RESPs actually work.

Our recent articles on RESPs - A primer on how to withdraw from RESPs and Are you getting the most out of your RESP? - triggered a flood of questions from readers.

Mr. Holman was here to answer your RESP questions. To read a transcript of the discussion, click on the box below.
