Comment by Noble Kelly on January 17, 2010 at 9:00: The CIDA press release states: "Donations made by individual Canadians to eligible Canadian charitable organizations over the period of January 12 to February 12, 2010 will be matched by the Government of Canada through the CIDA-managed Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund. The Fund will support Canadian and international humanitarian and development organizations with significant in-country capacity to deliver humanitarian, early recovery and reconstruction assistance in Haiti."

I am sure they have this coordinated with the various "eligible" registered Canadian relief charities working in Haiti. So if you donate to the Canadian Red Cross, for example, during this time period there will be records.
