I was not aware of the Canadian International Development AgencyB次元官网网址檚 budget freeze.
As for the millions of dollars of aid being withheld, CIDA has a budget of $5 billion annually for international assistance.
From 2001-2011 $1.12 billion was allocated to Afghanistan. I ask, what has been accomplished there? CIDAB次元官网网址檚 commitment to Haiti totals more than $1 billion from 2006-2012. What has been accomplished there?
I wonB次元官网网址檛 comment on the Karzai government in Afghanistan or CIDAB次元官网网址檚 role in the 2004 coup in Haiti.
As far as Canada being identified, by the entire world as Scrooge, I think not.
