As polling data showed, the majority of Canadian citizens support our country taking a lead in helping to improve opportunities for people living in the world\u2019s poorest countries. Uniting and amplifying the voice of this Canadian constituency prior to the 2015 election would galvanize the political will for increased Canadian leadership during the 42nd Parliament.

Politics Aside Recommendations (Policy Asks) for Canada\u2019s 42nd Parliament In addition to putting #PoliticsAside in the lead up to the 2015 election, EWB members and Canadians across the country asked the incoming 42nd Parliament to build upon Canada\u2019s previous levels of Official Development Assistance (ODA) in the following ways: Commit to a return to an ODA budget at least on par with the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Development Assistance Committee (DAC) average total in the 2016 Federal Budget, (In 2014 Canada spent 0.24% of GNI on ODA vs. an average of 0.29% by other OECD countries). Enhance the country\u2019s leadership role in addressing global poverty by aspiring to surpass Canada\u2019s 2005 and 2010 official development assistance (ODA) levels of 0.34% of gross national income (GNI) before the end of the 42nd Parliament, as a step toward meeting the United Nations\u2019 [&hellip;]","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/www.ewb.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Copy-of-Concordia_ChampagneParty1.jpg","thumbnail_width":1600,"thumbnail_height":1066}
