To the editor:
Canada has been a leading country over the years in the fight for global immunization by funding basic programs, such as the Canadian International Immunization Initiative (CIII).
Not renewing this successful program in 2013 would represent a huge number of deaths among the poorest of the world.
[Prime Minister Stephen] Harper’s Conservatives should stop cutting foreign aid to the poorest and must absolutely renew the CIII. They should start caring for the poorest, just like most Canadians do.
