Mr. Speaker, the G-20 meeting held in Ottawa this weekend concluded in failure because the rich countries could not agree on the need to increase aid to developing countries now.
I am not the source of the negative report on the G-20 meeting, it comes from the head of the World Bank, who said, “There is no consensus on the matter”.
Will the Minister of Finance acknowledge that the G-20 meeting he chaired in Ottawa was content to express good intentions on the subject of international aid, when now is the time to act on the poverty that fosters terrorism?
