Should the government increase or decrease foreign aid spending?

Decrease for countries who harbor/promote terrorism, commit human rights violations. Spending should be more transparent

I believe that while we should still provide humanitarian support, the gov. should focus on Canadian issues, like the lack of clean water for native communities

Decrease, we have people struggling in our own country

Decrease until we fix our own problems with lack of funding for vulnerable Canadians: indigenous, disabled and poorer communities need that funding here first

If the country requests or accepts it

Decrease, but direct this money towards Indigenous communities.

Decrease, we should make sure that everyone has access to adequate resources in Canada first

Don’t have enough knowledge on the matter to appropriately answer

Support Ukraine

Canada needs to focus on its own impoverished people and work on getting suitable living conditions to indigenous communities. But should still contribute toward foreign aid in some respect

Spend only or primarily on countries with no human rights violations

i do not have the relevent information.

I believe that we need to focus more on our own people. Start by giving everyone safe drinking water and adequate housing.

As long as they support the current party’s ideology, then we can support them in foreign aid

I am satisfied with the current amount of spending until our country is capable of supporting itself sufficiently, than we should increase to aid the places in need of help.

Change the way foreign aid is given to countries. Does it do more harm than good?

Decrease until we fix the problems in Canada

Aid should be directed straight to the peoples of struggling counties by trusted organizations to avoid corrupt officials and unethical distribution of aid.

we would balance, neither increase nor decrease

yes, depending on circumstances

I'd rather see the money going to those in need within our own country

Decrease, but only remove funding from countries with proven human rights violations (i.e. Saudi Arabia, etc.)

Aid in helping build up communities and giving money back to the countries that Canada has directly negatively affected. Do not give any more money or aid into foreign military.

Keep it the same, but redistribute the funds to the countries that need it the most.

Increase or maintain, but only to countries suffering from major disasters with a relatively good human rights records within a specific recent period at least.

More thought and care ahould go into where the money is going and whom it is helping.

should be eliminated. Serve Canadians first who need additional help.

Why do we have so much homelessness. Then all the of those new people move here. They get homes and jobs. While our citizens have less.

Only allow foreign aid spending to countries experiencing disasters or crises

Foreign aid spending should remain as-is for the present time until we drastically reduce our national debt. It should also be denied to countries that harbour and promote extremists.

Make sure the systems in place are changed to prevent tragedies- be more proactive.

Spending should remain the same but only be for emergency aid.

Increase, but only for humanitarian causes and not supporting armed conflicts

Decrease, until we have no more homeless, no more entire villages without clean water, until there is enough affordable housing to house our Born Citizens. - and then only give foreign aid to nations that are truly in need... i.e. NOT CHINA. China is a powerhouse, and does not require our annual tribute.

Should be lowered until after debt due to Covid is paid off

This is not a simple yes or no.

Increase, but investigate foreign governments before offering aid.

Decrease, Canadá should help other countries but should first focus on its own citizens and their living standards, as well as until it reduces its debt

Decrease, and only provide aid in extreme circumstances with a parliamentary vote. And continue focusing on Canada's own social and economic issues.

Decrease, but only to invest in our northern communities to improve quality of life and access to clean drinking water.

Instead, Canada should collaborate more with NGOs and other independent organizations so that the funds are directed to helping the people, not the governments

Decrease until everyone in Canada has clean drinking water

Increase, but only if we know exactly how the money is being used

Decrease, only give it to countries with zero human rights violations.

I am satisfied with the current amount of spending. However, deny aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism

Increase, but redirect the aid to countries grappling with issues such as widespread hunger and disease as well as countries that need disaster relief.

Increase, but redirect the aid to countries grappling with humanitarian issues such as widespread hunger and disease as well as countries that need disaster relief.

Increase, but redirect the aid to countries grappling with humanitarian issues such as widespread hunger and disease as well as countries that need disaster relief

Decrease in countries that have human rights violations

I am satisfied with the current level of spending, but redirect the aid to countries grappling with humanitarian issues such as widespread hunger and disease as well as countries that need disaster relief

Increase, for countries that have desperate humanitarian crises, and deny aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism

Decrease, but continue to aid countries that have desperate humanitarian crises, and deny aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism

Increase, but aid should primarily be given to countries dealing with widespread health and humanitarian issues such as hunger and deadly contagious diseases, as well as for disaster relief

Increase, for disaster relief and countries dealing with health issues such as widespread hunger and contagious diseases

Increase to countries with no terrorist ties or record of human rights abuses

I think the US shoul decrease spending on countries that violate human rights and are cruel to its people and should increase spending to those who are experiencing crisises.

Maintain, but, increase spending for countries with no human rights violations and decrease for countries with human rights violations.

Increase or keep the same, but funds must be earmarked to never be used for military spending of any kind.

Change the system of foreign aid to directly support foreign industry.

Increase, for countries dealing with health issues such as widespread hunger and contagious diseases, as well as humanitarian issues such as disaster relief

Increase, but only in situations where the parties responsible for the circumstances requiring aid will not benefit or profit from the aid.

Increase, for disaster relief and assistance in reducing widespread hunger and contagious diseases in various countries

Increase, but aid should be primarily directed towards countries dealing with humanitarian issues such as widespread hunger and disease and disaster relief

Increase, but aid should be primarily concentrated upon countries dealing with humanitarian issues such as widespread hunger and disease and disaster relief. Deny aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorist activities
