U2 frontman Bono has arrived on Parliament Hill for meetings with Prime Minister Stephen Harper, as well as the prime minister’s Liberal and NDP rivals.
Fresh off a show in Montreal, Bono arrived at the National Arts Centre to discuss foreign aid with several non-governmental organizations.
Mayor Jim Watson, who was on hand to greet the singer, says Bono’s star power will help to focus political attention on some overlooked issues.

Bono will also meet with NDP Leader Tom Mulcair and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, according to officials from both parties.
Harper has committed $3.5 billion toward the maternal and child health cause, his signature foreign-aid initiative.
It’s aimed at reducing the number of deaths of newborns and their mothers in the developing world.
Bono last met with former prime minister Paul Martin more than a decade ago, when the two discussed foreign aid priorities of that time, which included efforts to combat the spread of HIV-AIDS in Africa.
