Canada Stands at.....

Federal Government: The Canadian government has pledged, as of 02 January
2005, CAD 80 million (USD 67 million), an increase to the original figure of
CAD 4 million offered by the federal government, which had previously been
revised to 40 million, as an immediate contribution toward the aid effort
and will also be providing blankets, water purification devices, and
generators through the Canadian International Development Agency. The
Canadian federal government has also announced a debt moratorium for the
countries most severely impacted by the tsunamis. Also, Canada has announced
it will send its DART (Disaster Assistance Response Team) to Ampara in Sri
Lanka.
Provincial Governments: In addition to the federal funds, the provincial
government of British Columbia has given CAD 8 million (USD 6.6 million) to
the Canadian Red Cross, the provincial governments of Ontario and Alberta
have each pledged CAD 5 million (USD 4.1 million), the provincial
governments of Quebec, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador,
and Nova Scotia have each given CAD 100,000 (USD 82,000), and the provincial
governments of the Northwest Territories and Prince Edward Island have
pledged CAD 25,000 and 20,000 respectively. As of 03 January 2005, Canadian
governments have pledged CAD 98.5 million in aid; this translates to CAD
3.05 per capita. Voluntary Sector: Measuring the extent of individual and
corporate philanthropy is more difficult, although the government estimated
on 02 January 2005 that donations to tsunami victims had reached CAD 36
million, or a little more than one CAD per capita. The federal government
created incentives for private donations: it announced that it would match
donations dollar-for-dollar and decided to bend the rules by allowing
tsunami-related donations made before 11 January 2005 to be claimed on 2004
income-tax returns.
