Canada\u2019s global commitments to humanitarian assistance and development are saving countless lives and helping millions of people lift themselves out of extreme poverty.<\/p>\n<p>In Ottawa last week, ONE and its partners <a href=\"http:\/\/www.one.org\/us\/2014\/02\/07\/20000-canadians-sign-on-to-protectaid\/\">delivered a petition<\/a> to the government with more than 20,000 signatures from Canadians across the country asking Prime Minister Harper to ensure that no cuts would be made to the development budget after last year\u2019s CA$380 million cuts. Our partners included Engineers Without Borders Canada, the Canadian Council for International Cooperation, the Global Poverty Project, and Make Poverty History.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tom Hart<\/strong>, ONE\u2019s North American Executive Director, said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis is a win for Canada\u2019s role as a major player in the fight against global extreme poverty and preventable disease. This announcement comes on the heels of Canada\u2019s recent CA$650 million commitment to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria.<\/p>\n<p>We welcome Canada\u2019s particular concentration on programs to ensure maternal, newborn and child health through the Muskoka Initiative and Grand Challenges Canada. We also applaud Ottawa\u2019s commitment to aid effectiveness and accountability through the International Aid Transparency Initiative.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"buffer\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, ONE and its partners delivered 20,000 signatures from Canadians calling for no budget cuts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"contributor":[],"class_list":["post-128438","one_press","type-one_press","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
