赈灾特报:加联邦宣布跟进民间筹款对等捐助

中新社温哥华五月十五日电 (尹琳)加拿大联邦政府十五日宣布，拨款100万加元，交给国际红十字会赈济四川灾民。渥京更设立了一对一的「对等捐款账户」，市民捐多少钱，政府增拨多少钱赈灾，希望能鼓励市民捐款。不设上限，不设截止日期。

　　加拿大联邦多元文化部长肯尼今天下午召开新闻发布会，宣布加拿大已经响应国际红十字会的号召，向国际红十字会捐款一百万美元。国际红十字会今天号召世界各国政府捐助九百万美元，民间筹款一千九百万美元，用于中国地震救灾和灾后重建。

　　肯尼表示，加拿大政府立刻做出回应，捐款额度达到总额度的九分之一。他同时强调，大灾难发生时，情况随时都会变化，而加拿大也随时做好准备，可以追加捐款，也可以根据中国的需要派出专人前去救援。

　　据悉，这是加拿大政府有史以来第三次跟进民间筹款，前两次都是在二00五年，赈灾对象分别是印尼海啸和巴基斯坦地震，前者跟进额高达两亿元。

　　肯尼认为，包括华裔社群在内的加拿大民众纷纷伸出援手值得赞扬，而政府也愿意做出自己的贡献。

Ottawa–Canadians who donate money to humanitarian agencies providing relief from natural disasters in Burma and China will have their dollars matched by the federal government, International Co-operation Minister Bev Oda announced yesterday.

There will be a cap on individual donations and the matching will be limited for a certain period."We will match the private contributions to organizations that are being able to do work in Burma," Oda told reporters.

Oda had earlier promised $2 million in aid to Burma, also known as Myanmar, devastated by the cyclone that the UN and Red Cross estimates could leave as many as 100,000 people dead.

Funding agencies in Burma will help Ottawa circumvent resistance from the ruling junta, which has not been co-operating with foreign relief efforts.

"Our government will be there when the need is there, but most importantly (we will) make sure that whatever aid that we provide is going to actually get to the victims and their families," Oda said.

New Democrat foreign affairs critic Paul Dewar welcomed the funding but said the government should take a more proactive role.

His Parliamentary Friends of Burma group held a press conference earlier yesterday at which Dewar suggested that Canada should consider helping the some 140,000 refugees in camps on the border with Thailand if it cannot enter Burma itself.

"There are problems getting into Burma. We do need to deliver aid quicker," he said.

"But one thing we can certainly anticipate is the numbers in those refugee camps are going to explode."
