Publish What You Fund: The Global Campaign for Aid Transparency
http://www.publishwhatyoufund.org/

International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI)
http://www.aidtransparency.net/

Oddly, Canada is NOT involved in this initiative, but the following
countries and organizations are:
    * World Bank
    * Asian Development Bank
    * The European Commission (EC)
    * United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
    * Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation (GAVI)
    * Hewlett Foundation
    * Australia - AusAID
    * Denmark - Ministry of Foreign Affairs
    * Finland - Ministry for Foreign Affairs
    * Germany - Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ)
    * Ireland - Irish Aid
    * Netherlands – Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs – Development Cooperation
    * New Zealand – NZAID
    * Norway - Norad
    * Spain – Spain Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation
    * Sweden - SIDA
    * Switzerland - Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC)
    * UK - DFID

Someone should pass this on to the CBC, pointing out Canada's non-participation.
Someone should ask all the parties in this election what their policy
on this is.
Although for one party it looks like we can guess...
