CANADA
(MNI) OTTAWA
  • "We understand the value of wise and prudent fiscal management, and that is a policy our government will continue."
  • Freeland was asked about fiscal anchor in next week's return of Parliament at press conference Tuesday.
  • Finance Minister says top priority is giving Canadians tools to fight Covid, and restoring jobs and growth is also key.
  • Also says Canada has no agreement with U.S. on aluminum quotas, after USTR Tuesday dropped 10% tariff in favor of quota on future imports from Canada. Freeland said if tariff returns, govt will impose dollar for dollar retaliation.
