After a 36-day campaign, the 2025 federal election is over. After a tough fought campaign, Prime Minister Mark Carney has led the Liberal Party to fourth straight victory<\/a>, securing a minority government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The ask:<\/strong> We call on Canada's new government to have a strong role in tackling the most pressing global challenges by showing up and supporting the health, wellbeing, and dignity of people around the world. A better world starts with Canada.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In this campaign, Prime Minister Carney has repeatedly stated<\/a> that his government would not cut international assistance spending, ensuring critical Canadian investments in fighting infectious diseases like tuberculosis, ensuring nutritious food, and providing quality education around the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This commitment is a good first step toward maintaining Canada\u2019s long tradition of working alongside global partners to support and champion the health and wellbeing of the most marginalized. Canadian leadership has resulted in a world that is healthier and more prosperous than it was only 20 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the challenges ahead<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

But we know that global challenges are rising, and more and more countries are cutting support for international assistance, turning their backs on our world. The United States has dismantled the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and cut over 80% of its activities. The United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, and Belgium have also slashed their international assistance budgets. These cuts put millions of lives at risk, threaten livelihoods, and jeopardize decades of progress toward the eradication of extreme poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The United States is the largest funder of international assistance programming in the world, with USAID providing assistance to about 130 countries, including 42% of all global health funding<\/a> worldwide. The rollback of funding has created an enormous vacuum with critical personnel, infrastructure, programming, and partnerships ending abruptly.<\/p>\n\n\n
