Should the government increase or decrease foreign aid spending?

Canada should not only decrease the human aid spending on other countries, they should try to eliminate it fully because most of our foreign aid that is sent to other countries is not getting received or is being sold there. I was in Lebanon and I saw different foreign aid from all over the world being sold on the regular rather than helping people with it.

satisfied with the current amount but it should be stopped if the country violates human rights audaciously.

Decrease. We need to look after and support our own citizens and reduce our national debt before helping other countries.

increase but make sure money isn't going to corrupt leaders

Decrease, until we give all Canadians amenities like drinking water, power and shelter.

Stop foreign aid spending and lower down income tax for middle class families.

The massive majority of aid given to countries in need is siphoned off by the corrupt government officials for their own wealth and not received by needy people so why give any aid?

(Decreasing) i think its a combination of drastically reducing our national budget deficit and denying aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism

only to countries that have a low enough GNP

I dont even know

Decrease, and invest the money within Canada instead to help our people first

Decrease and put the money into the military and have them go help people

Certain things can and should be funded, nutrition, healthcare and first aid in 3rd world countries should be funded the rest of the money should be spent in Canada on Canadians to improve our daily lives in some manner

Reduce foreign aid and increase foreign investment. Like China does

It really depends on how the country is holding up or if they are not being supported by other countries it s good to help, which makes Canada be on a good side

Remain the same but redirect funds to individuals in needs, not to the governments.

Stop sending money for foreign aid! FIX THE PROBLEMS IN CANADA! Reservations should have access to safe and clean water!!!

Depends on what is the return on that aid... as we all know nothing is free, regardless of the human rights violations, or whatever...

Decrease until COVID-19 and the economic fallout is brings is dealt with.

Offer aid to countries that avoid conflict and don’t promote terrorism.

Let's take care of Canadians first, housing, health, and environment. First Nation communities should now be without drinking water in this day and age. Millions gets spent on foreign aid at the blink of an eye. Big difference when highlighting politicians promisses at election time.

Decrease for Western Countries and European Countries and increase for Middle Eastern Countries

i not know

Satisfied with current foreign aid but should not give aid to any country with human rights violations

Increase the spending, but have strict policies about how the modi’s handled and where it goes.

Increase, but depending on how necessary the aid is and how severe their human rights violations are.

Decrease, We need to improve the quality of life of our citizens first

Decrease, and deny aid to countries that harbour or promote terrorism, or infringe on human rights, and to reduce our national budget deficit

Increase foreign aid spending so it can be utilized as a means of political bargaining and international diplomacy.

We should decrease foreign aid spending, and use the money to invest in national defence, military funding, and policing.

really depends on how a country is holding up or deeply struggling.

Decrease, decrease and we should focus our aid on select countries like Taiwan, Haiti, Colombia, the Commonwealth and Francophonie. Canada should partner it's aid efforts with that of New Zealand, Australia and the UK.

They should look for more long term fixes so that the spending can slowly decrease over time, and eventually e country can take care of itself if

Decrease, The American people come first

Decrease and put that into the American people.

Decrease aid should first go to american citizens

Decrease, and incentivize private charities.

Only if the aid is material to actually improve a country's material conditions rather than making them dependent on us as a benefactor.

Decrease, but try to help them build their own economies up so it becomes sustainable
