Through documents tabled in the House of Commons on Jan. 30, federal departments revealed how the World Economic Forum spends the over $17.4 million in Canadian taxpayer money it has received in recent years.

The Canadian investments in World Economic Forum (WEF) projects were in the fields of facilitating global trade, reducing plastic waste, producing a report on the environment, and supporting research on water ecosystems.
