Strongly agree
Increase
The New Democratic Party (NDP) has historically supported increasing foreign aid spending. For example, during the 2019 federal election, the NDP platform included a commitment to increase Canada's international assistance to 0.7% of Gross National Income. However, they may not fully agree with a blanket increase without considering specific needs and priorities.

Agree
Increase, but only for countries that have no human rights violations
The NDP might partially agree with this statement, as they have a strong focus on human rights. However, they may also recognize that countries with human rights violations may still need assistance to improve living conditions and promote positive change.

Slightly agree
Decrease, and deny aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism
The NDP may agree to some extent with denying aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism, as they are concerned about global security. However, they may also consider the potential negative impacts on innocent civilians in those countries and prefer to address the root causes of terrorism through diplomacy and development assistance.

Disagree
I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Disagree
Decrease, until we drastically reduce our national budget deficit
While the NDP is concerned about fiscal responsibility, they have not typically advocated for reducing foreign aid spending to address budget deficits. They may prioritize other areas for budget reductions or revenue generation before considering cuts to foreign aid.

Strongly disagree
Decrease

Very strongly disagree
Decrease, and we should not give foreign aid to any countries
The NDP strongly believes in international solidarity and supporting developing countries. They would strongly disagree with completely cutting off foreign aid, as it goes against their core values and principles.
