> OTTAWA - The Canadian government says it will steer its foreign aid toward a smaller pool of 20 countries or regions.
> The federal government has announced that 80 per cent of Canada's bilateral aid will go to 18 countries, along with the Caribbean and the West Bank and Gaza. The Tories say Canada's aid has been sprinkled around too thinly, to too many places, and has been ineffective.
> The Liberal government of Paul Martin announced in 2005 that it would target aid to 25 countries, but International Co-operation Minister Bev Oda says she has seen no evidence that the change was made.
> Countries dropped from Canada's recipient list include Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Nicaragua, Guyana, and eight African countries including Cameroon, Kenya, Senegal and Rwanda.
> Added to the list are Colombia, Haiti, Peru and Sudan, along with the West Bank-Gaza and Caribbean areas.>
