why write an LTE

Write an LTE if you want to make your opinion heard in a timely manner. You don’t need a lot of research, and your LTE can be brief and to-the-point - just 150-200 words! When time is of the essence, choose to write an LTE.

expert fact

Once submitted, you can track your letter by doing an internet search of your name and following up with the publication to find out if/when it is getting published.

secret tip

Your letter doesn’t have to be perfect, and you don’t have to be an expert to have an opinion. You simply need to care.

Call-to-action summary:

From February to April, we will be calling on Canada to advance a future where every child is born to thrive by making a new pledge to the Global Financing Facility (GFF). We are focusing on protecting the world’s children at a moment when global gains are at risk of slipping backward. For the first time this century, child deaths are projected to rise, but we don’t have to accept that outcome. With bold leadership and smart investments in lifesaving mechanisms like the GFF we can transform millions of young lives and give every child the chance to reach their full potential.

read full call-to-action

Last month, we encouraged you to meet with your Member of Parliament (MP) to introduce the Global Financing Facility and explain why Canada should invest in this powerful mechanism. If you had the meeting, make sure to let us know! If you haven’t secured the meeting yet, keep trying!

Now it’s time for the next step. Send an email to the Hon. Randeep Sarai, Canada’s Secretary of State (International Development), at randeep.sarai@parl.gc.ca, with your MP copied, urging him to announce a $340 million pledge to the Global Financing Facility at the upcoming World Bank–International Monetary Fund Spring Meetings 2026 this April.

In your email, highlight how an early pledge from Canada would send a strong signal to other donors, helping unlock additional investments to strengthen primary health care, support frontline health workers, and accelerate progress to end preventable maternal and child deaths. All the information you need is in this month’s Call to Action and you can attach this short GFF explainer to the email.

If you receive a response, let us know by reporting your action or emailing action@resultscanada.ca.

Your voice can help ensure Canada shows leadership at a pivotal moment: when global health systems are under strain, and the opportunity (and need) for impact has never been clearer.
