Canada is in the middle of the pack on foreign-aid spending:
Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon gives Canada an ``A`` for following through on past G8 commitments, but a new G8 report card shows Canada is in the middle of the pack when it comes to foreign aid spending.
Health care spending in Canada is expected to reach $183.1 billion in 2009, an estimated increase of $9.5 billion, or 5.5%, since 2008, according to new figures released today by the Canadian Institute for Health Information.
