Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland says the Canadian economy is strong and has weathered COVID better than many other nations, while dismissing Conservative claims about inflation at a House of Commons committee Thursday.
Conservative finance critic Pierre Poilievre repeatedly asked Freeland to explain how the government will address inflation which is pushing up food prices and other costs across the country.
“It’s really important for Canadians, not to be misled by a false narrative,” she said. “I do really want people to come away from today with an understanding that we have done a really good job as a country of managing what was a devastating crisis and what could have been much, much worse.”
