Prime Minister Stephen Harper met with Red Crossers and visited a Red Cross warehouse facility in Mississauga yesterday. He was there to make an announcement about the government contribution to the Typhoon Haiyan relief fund for the Philippines. The Prime Minister welcomed the generosity of Canadians who contributed over $85 million in eligible donations that are being matched by the government.

With support from the Canadian government, the Canadian Red Cross deployed a field hospital and medical personel to provide emergency health care services after the typhoon caused damage to health care facilities in the Philippines.
