Hurricane Aid for Cuba
Result:
On Friday, 19 September08, the Canadian government said it would send $4,000,000 in aid to Cuba for hurricane relief. Half of it will be given to the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. The other half will be given to the Cuba Community Development Fund which will distribute funds for relief and reconstruction to local Cuban organisations.
I would like to extend my heartfelt "thank you" to all who have signed this petition and who support its cause. Hopefully, the lives of the Cuban people will be made better by our government's contribution to hurricane relief. The petition will be printed and forwarded to Minister Beverly J. Oda at the Canadian government's Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT).
