Randeep Sarai is the secretary of state for international development.

He says Canada must take a more visible approach to development and humanitarian assistance.

Canada spent $12 billion on foreign aid in the fiscal year that ended in spring 2024 .

Sarai says Canadians should know how their aid dollars work to flood-proof areas prone to natural disasters.

Sarai says Carney 's decision to maintain aid recognizes that diseases don't respect borders.

Sarai is in Brussels this week for a pledging summit with GAVI, the global vaccine alliance.

He expects to take part next month in the G20 meeting of development ministers in South Africa and possibly a summit in the Solomon Islands .
