Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland joins Global National's Dawna Friesen, where she says the Liberal government's fall fiscal update offers a couple of scenarios which includes all of their projections being built on the worst case scenario. “Prepare for the worst, hope for the best,” Freeland said. “It is a lot of money,” the finance minister said of a projected $381 billion deficit for 2020, but she said Canada's debt servicing charges are “imminently manageable,” and are the lowest in a hundred years. She adds that they're “working very hard right now to push out the maturity's on our debt to lock-in today's low interest rates.” She says their plan is working so far with Canada having “recovered 80 per cent of the jobs lost at the bottom of the crisis.”
