Mr. Speaker, the Liberals are nowhere near the head of the class when it comes to international aid.
The government keeps saying that it is overly ambitious to dedicate 0.7% of our GDP to development aid, even over 10 years.
However, all stakeholders expect the federal government to increase funding for international assistance in order to give Canada some credibility in meeting sustainable development goals.
Will the minister show some ambition and commit to increasing international aid investments in budget 2017?
