Ottawa might reverse scaling back foreign aid if economy rebounds, Sajjan says
He noted that the amount set out in budgets is often topped up as the government pledges funding through the year to respond to humanitarian disasters.
But the aid sector says it will need to end some Canadian projects abroad, and that holding out for more cash means a backsliding in programs that need years of support to make a sustainable impact on disease, hunger and women’s rights.“It goes against the very ambitious and bold leadership rhetoric that we’ve heard from the government,” said Martin Fischer, World Vision Canada’s policy director.
“We all collectively have a hard time understanding how a sector that is providing the government with opportunities to show up internationally, to employ a whole bunch of Canadians and be part of its global role is given no certainty through the regular budget cycle.”Fischer questioned why the budget didn’t at least commit to upholding Charlevoix programs that are about to sunset. Sajjan responded by noting renewed Canadian funding in February for girls at the Education Cannot Wait summit.
