The federal government says it will match up to $4 million in public donations toward earthquake relief efforts in Venezuela. An MP overseeing Canada’s foreign aid program says the measure is intended to support Venezuelans still dealing with the aftermath of recent earthquakes. The announcement comes in addition to other federal funding the government says it provided last week. According to reporting, the donation-matching framework is designed to increase the impact of Canadians’ contributions through established relief partners. Aid organizations mentioned by outlets include the Canadian Red Cross and the Humanitarian Coalition. Together, the sources describe Ottawa’s plan as a supplementary commitment that pairs direct public-donation matching with previously announced government assistance. The government’s stated aim is to enable greater support for humanitarian response efforts on the ground in Venezuela while encouraging public participation in relief fundraising.
