Ottawa urged to extend donation matching deadline for Pakistan floods - Winnipeg Free Press

Ottawa urged to extend donation matching deadline for Pakistan floods - Winnipeg Free Press: "TORONTO - Ottawa must give Canadians more time to aid in Pakistan flood-relief efforts by extending its pledge to match donations dollar-for-dollar, doctors headed to the region said Tuesday.
Canadians have been slow to respond with donations for the Pakistan flooding compared to other disasters like the Haiti earthquake, and the deadline for the dollar matching commitment is Sunday.
The doctors, joined by Liberal MP Jim Karygiannis, called on Ottawa to extend it to the end of the month."
