LETTER: Global Fund making a difference

There is growing fear in the development community that after years of advocating full international funding for the Global Fund for Aids, TB and Malaria, the Trudeau Liberals are planning to abandon it. This is deeply concerning because Canada has long been at the bottom of spending of all developed nations on developmental aid.

There is growing fear in the development community that after years of advocating full international funding for the Global Fund for Aids, TB and Malaria, the Trudeau Liberals are planning to abandon it. This is deeply concerning because Canada has long been at the bottom of spending of all developed nations on developmental aid.

The Global Fund is an extremely successful multinational effort combating the worldB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s greatest killers, and CanadaB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s past support was one admirable facet of an otherwise poor record. To fail at this yearB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s funding replenishment would cement the Trudeau LiberalB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s legacy as that of the rich relative that always disappears when the cheque comes to the table.
