House Hansard - 56

44th Parl. 1st Sess.

Context: House Hansard - 56 - Apr/8/22
Ms. Heather McPherson (Edmonton Strathcona, NDP)
Mr. Speaker, I would like to echo my Conservative colleague's interest in Bill S-216 and how important that is. The question I have today for the member is regarding foreign aid. We did see an $8-billion investment in our military. One of the things that I have mentioned in the House is that an increase in military aid is tied to an increase in humanitarian aid, because war is a failure of development and it is a failure of humanitarian action. Would he be supportive of a call to tie our amount spent on defence to our amount spent on humanitarian aid?
