Canada’s finance ministers must act collectively to address health care and competitiveness concerns while being mindful of fiscal responsibility at a time of high inflation, Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said in opening remarks Friday before a day of discussions with her provincial and territorial colleagues.
The finance ministers dined together on Thursday night in mid-town Toronto at well-known Italian restaurant group Terroni in the Summerhill neighbourhood.Governor Tiff Macklem. Ms. Freeland’s remarks suggest other topics will include how Canadian policies can compete with massive new green energy incentives adopted last year in the United States as part of the Inflation Reduction Act.
Federal ministers have said the goal is for Ottawa and the provinces to reach a general agreement on health transfers in early February, followed by more specific individual transfer deals focused on the specific needs of each province and territory. Federal ministers have said the goal is for all of the deals to be complete before the release of federal and provincial budgets for 2023.
The country’s finance ministers are meeting at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy on the University of Toronto campus in Ms. Freeland’s riding of University-Rosedale. This marks the first in-person meeting between the ministers since the COVID-19 pandemic and Ms. Freeland greeted her counterparts with hugs and handshakes before her opening remarks.
In other words they will continue to hand money out to the world and Canadians will die from lack of health care.
I assume what Freeland means is that they have no money for provincial funding because they are sending all our tax dollars offshore
So now she’s worried about being fiscally responsible. After 8 years of breaking the bank. You just can’t make this stuff up.
The funny thing is that Freeland thinks she has been 'fiscally responsible'!
What does she know about balance?
You talk about fiscal responsibility, but...
Lol. Lil late
Accountability
Because none of those things help Zelensky
Just ask the Westin hotel in Calgary for the money. Fiscal responsibility my a$$
How about Freeland do the same at the federal level. Fiscal responsibility is not what the federal government has been practicing since they were elected.
Look at her talking fiscal responsibility 🤣🤣🤣
What is Fiscal Responsibility in NDP and Liberal terms? Does your definition say that you know where the Infrastructure Money is? The WE money?
What a joke taking she’s talking about fiscal responsibility
The words “fiscal responsibility” from the mouth of the Finance Minister that spent more IN ONE YEAR than all previous Canadian Governments cumulative since the beginning of Canada! You gotta be kidding me!
Doesn’t she know the budget will balance itself. Lol
Meanwhile shovelling $750M to her NATO/Nazi relatives.
Duh!
They have to save money to launder through Ukraine
That’s a stretch for her.
But it’s ok to piss away tax dollars overseas unabashedly….Cool story Freeland, but it’s Grade A BS.
“Fiscal responsibility”? It is to weep
Kinda hard when your boss thinks budgets balance themselves and that he doesn't concern himself with monetary policies.
LMFAO this woman pretending to know the first thing about fiscal responsibility... I s2g, I thought this was a Beaverton article at first.
