House of Commons finance committee is scheduled to meet Monday to move pandemic aid bill closer to a final vote

Opposition MPs are getting ready to review the Liberals’ latest package of pandemic aid and grill Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland about myriad economic issues.

As part of a compromise to fast-track the legislation, the Liberals agreed to have Freeland sit for at least two hours of questioning before the committee. NDP finance critic Daniel Blaikie, who is on the committee, says he planned to press Freeland on ways to reverse clawbacks for income-tested benefits to low-income seniors and families whose earnings were buoyed by emergency aid.
