Haiti wants greater say in disbursement of Canadian assistance

Jan 09, 2013

MONTREAL, Canada, CMC – Haiti’s Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe has a message for Canada in the wake of a decision by Ottawa to put a temporarily halt on aid to the French-speaking Caribbean Community (CARICOM) country.
He wants Canada to give Port-au-Prince a greater say in how aid from the North American country is spent.
Last week, International Co-operation Minister Julian Fantino announced that Ottawa would not fund any new programme in Haiti until it finds a better way of assisting the country help itself.
