Strongly agree

Increase

The Liberal Party of Canada generally supports increasing foreign aid spending. For example, under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Canada has increased its foreign aid budget, including a $2 billion commitment to support education for women and girls in crisis situations in 2018. However, the party has not consistently met the United Nations' target of 0.7% of GNI for foreign aid.

Agree

Increase, but only for countries that have no human rights violations

The Liberal Party may partially agree with this statement, as they have shown concern for human rights in their foreign policy. However, they have not made it a strict condition for providing foreign aid, as they recognize the complexities of international relations and the need for diplomacy in addressing human rights issues.

Slightly agree

Decrease, and deny aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism

The Liberal Party may somewhat agree with this statement, as they have shown concern for national security and combating terrorism. However, their approach to foreign aid is more nuanced and focused on addressing the root causes of terrorism, such as poverty and lack of education, rather than simply denying aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism.
