A greater number of Canadians are against rather than in favour of sending additional financial aid to Ukraine out of concerns that it will add to Canada’s deficit, according to internal research by the federal Department of Finance.

The department’s findings were based on 10 online focus groups and questionnaires surveying over 2,000 people across the country last fall. Respondents gave their opinions on questions pertaining to federal spending measures, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
