International development. The meeting underscored a strong expectation that Canadian international assistance will face significant further reductions under the Liberal government, regardless of the Conservatives’ position, reflecting a perceived lack of public support for overseas spending while Canadians face domestic challenges. The discussion stressed the need to be prepared for additional Canadian aid cuts in the future. While acknowledging that cuts would significantly reduce impact on hunger and poverty alleviation, we emphasized that our organization would remain viable due to its strong donor base and noted the importance of government matching funds in leveraging private donations. The discussion explored alternative aid financing models, including donor-matched government funding, public-private partnerships, and philanthropic partnerships, with considerable interest shown in approaches that align government support with causes Canadians already back.
