New Federal Finance Minister Freeland Promises A Greener Economy
Aug 18, 2020
OTTAWA – Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland has been officially sworn in as the new federal Finance Minister, replacing the outgoing Bill Morneau. Freeland becomes the first woman to ever hold the role at the federal level. New Brunswick MP Dominic LeBlanc takes over as Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs.
During her address to the media on Tuesday, Freeland said Canada must focus on a greener economy as the Country recovers from Covid-19. It has been reported that Morneau and Trudeau clashed over the notion of a green economy before Morneau’s resignation.
“I think Canadians understand that the restart of our economy needs to be green,” said Freeland. “It also needs to be equitable; it needs to be inclusive. And we need to focus very much on jobs and growth.”
