　　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，加拿大民众每为中
国四川地震灾区捐一块钱，政府就跟进一块钱，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。

Gov't to match private donations for Myanmar, China

By THE CANADIAN PRESS





OTTAWA - Bev Oda, the minister of International Co-operation, says the
federal government will match private donations made to aid groups working
on disaster relief in Myanmar and China.

Oda earlier promised $2 million for aid to cyclone-ravaged Myanmar, where
tens of thousands have died and hundreds of thousands are homeless.

Her promise to match the donations of individuals will raise that figure.

Canada has also offered help to China, where an earthquake killed tens of
thousands on Monday, but there's no word on whether such aid is needed or
wanted.

Oda is also promising that the government will do all it can to ensure that
aid reaches the victims in Myanmar.

Relief work there has been slowed by the Myanmar military government, which
has been wary of letting foreign aid workers in the country.
