I would take it then that it would be a good idea for all members of Parliament to vote in favour of this legislation because it does the right job in merging the two departments.
I understand the Canadian Association of International Development Professionals apparently have said that:
...the intent expressed in Thursday's budget to enshrine CIDA's work and the position of the Minister in law. This can only strengthen and raise the profile of development assistance as a strong reflection of the importance Canadians attach to supporting underdeveloped countries.
Are you a member of the Canadian Association of International Development Professionals?
