flag Canada plans to end new foreign aid programs, continuing only existing ones, as NDP’s reduced caucus limits parliamentary scrutiny.

flag A Global Affairs Canada briefing note from June, released under access-to-information laws, states the department expects fewer parliamentary questions about foreign aid cuts due to the New Democratic Party’s reduced caucus size, now limited to seven weekly questions. flag The note reveals plans to halt new applications for Trudeau-era foreign aid programs while allowing ongoing projects—such as those focused on climate finance, biodiversity, and feminist development—to conclude. flag This reflects standard government practice when adjusting spending priorities. flag The NDP, previously more active in questioning foreign aid, now has a diminished role in oral question periods, with most inquiries likely to come in writing.
