Reading a few old articles from 2010-2013 it seems like it was a direct result of the Conservative government (Harper) being pro-Israel. It was a slow reduction of funds since 2008 until it reached 0. There have been allegations of ties to Hamas back then as well, but again, nothing proven on a significant level that I could find. I did see in 2010 Vic Toews saying that the funds were being diverted from UNRWA to fund specific projects like building courthouses and training policemen to “ensure accountability and foster democracy in the PA."
