| Canada increase disaster aid to 40 million |
|
OTTAWA -- Canada is dramatically increasing the aid it's providing to tsunami victims in south Asia.
Defence Minister Bill Graham says Canada will provide 40 (m) million dollars in relief money.
That includes the four (m) million already announced.
A team of a dozen Canadians will also go to the region, to see if the military's emergency response unit should be deployed.
An additional planeload of relief supplies is also going to Indonesia.
An Airbus filled with supplies took off yesterday from C-F-B Trenton, Ontario headed to Sri Lanka.
