Members of Parliament, of all political stripes, are to be commended for unanimously passing Bill C-293 today. Bill C-293, also known as the “better aid bill”, makes ending poverty the exclusive goal of Canadian foreign aid.

“The Conservatives, Liberals, Bloc Québecois and New Democrats were all on side for this Bill,” says Gerry Barr, President and CEO of the Canadian Council for International Co-operation (CCIC). “What we’ve seen here today is the putting aside of partisanhip to esure that ending global poverty is given the attention and support it deserves.”

Bill C-293 was a private member’s Bill that managed to gain the support of all Members of Parliament. Canada’s foreign aid must now focus on poverty reduction, take into account the priorities of the people living in poverty and be consistent with Canada’s international human rights obligations. Bill C-293 also makes Canada’s aid spending more accountable and transparent.

Yay! I took that cheesy photo of those letters years ago... and there was much laughing at my expense... but it was just so exciting to have all thes 4th graders in to our office asking questions about poverty and furiously writing letters that I started taking pictures of everything... I mean usually RESULTS trains adult and although it is wodnerful and empowering... kids ask smarter questions ... perhaps because they are more simple ... like, "Why do we let people die if there is enough food and medicine?"

Well... I didn't say the questions were easy...
