Then call your MP! The Official Development Assistance Accountability Act (aka Bill C-293) is going for a final vote in the House of Commons on March 22. It will help ensure Canadian foreign aid is effective, and is focused on reducing poverty. More specifically:
The purpose of this Act is to ensure that all Canadian official development assistance abroad is provided with a central focus on poverty reduction and in a manner that is consistent with Canadian values, Canadian foreign policy, sustainable development and democracy promotion and that promotes international human rights standards.
You can (dare I say should?) contact your MP to ensure he or she realizes that this measure is important to you (assuming it is). Ideally you should phone, but at the very least send along a short email (I did!). They are your representatives, and this is just to remind them of their constituents’ values… You can find the contact details for your MP here.
