I've answered part of the question previously, so I'll add some content. The importance of the charitable sector to the Canadian economy is significant. I don't think most Canadians are aware of that. Promoting the integration between the several sectors of our economy is key. People hear about corporations and the good and bad they do. They hear about government. Yes, government does good, and government does bad as well. They rarely hear, for example, that a number of charitable organizations bid on government contracts. The lowest bidder takes the contract, and the charities seem to stretch the government's dollars. When the government offers the same service, it costs two, three, sometimes four times as much money. I'm not suggesting the government advertise its inefficiencies, but I would suggest that promoting the idea that charities are engaging with the world and the government is engaging with charities, so what are you doing, would be an incredible thing.
The Canadian Christian Relief and Development Association sent over $537 million out of the country in 2010. Of that total, less than 6%—$32 million—came from CIDA. So people are engaging. I would dare say that this $32 million was better spent than if the government had invested $32 million in having a bureaucratic civil service organization do the same work.
