Everybody invested a lot in legislating Aid Accountability in Canada. But it seems to be treated as a reporting exercise rather than something that would change what kind of aid Canada gives and how it gives. From the CCIC:

Landmark Legislation Suffers from Lacklustre Implementation: “Two years after passing the Official Development Assistance (ODA) Accountability Act the government has failed ‘to fulfill the Act’s spirit and the intention of parliament’ according to a report released May 18, 2010″

(Via Canadian Council For International Co-Operation.)
