Lester B. Pearson proposed the 0.7% aid target in 1969.
![Page 22: Let’s get to the point seven percent that was promised.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813588550346895d9ce935/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The United Nations set the 0.7% of national income aid target in 1970.
Canada promised to meet this goal by 1975.

But Canada has never delivered.
The closest Canada has come was in 1987 when we gave 0.5%.
We now give about 0.3% or less than half the 0.7% target.
