Humanitarian groups in Canada are expressing their disappointment with the federal budget presented by the minority Liberal government, saying it is “a missed opportunity for Canada’s global engagement” and limits Ottawa’s ability to play a “meaningful long-term role” in a post-pandemic global recovery.
Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland unveiled on Monday $101.4 billion in new spending in the first federal budget in two years.
The 739-page document commits up to $1.4 billion over five years in international assistance to “support developing countries and vulnerable populations respond to this crisis and to meet growing humanitarian needs around the world.”
