I'm just trying to get an idea of where the funding is from.
Looking at the overall Canadian aid chart here, it indicates here that it has been increasing rather than decreasing the ODA level. And while appreciating the concern of the 0.7% ODA, which is mentioned time and again, my understanding is that the manner in which other countries tax the system is structured differently from the way it is in Canada.
To make a more accurate comparison, here in Canada, you'd have to take Canada's official development assistance and add the total amount of personal contributions to international charities that Canadians make in order to be able to parallel what the equivalency is of other countries. And wouldn't the funding given, for example, to Haiti and other countries affected by disasters by the diaspora in Canada of the various countries be a very significant amount?
