OTTAWA — Federal Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland will give Canadians an updated look at the country’s books next week as the government deals with economic headwinds and some big-spending new initiatives.
The finance minister’s long-awaited announcement comes after goading from Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre, who last week offered Freeland two hours of House of Commons time slated for Conservative motions to deliver the fiscal update.
The fiscal update will take place just two days before the House breaks for Christmas.
