“Having development support our trade is key. We are trying to focus on where there are trade opportunities.” That’s the message from Randeep Sarai, Secretary of State for International Development about the direction Canada will be going when it comes to funding for international development projects in the Global South. Canada will remain committed to humanitarian work, he said, but development work will be focused on enabling Canada to get more trading opportunities.
