OTTAWA (Reuters) – Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland on Tuesday said her approach to this year’s budget, due out sometime this spring, would be carefully calibrated due to a high level of uncertainty in the global economy.
“There is still a lot of uncertainty in the world economy, and that means that we do need to continue to take a fiscally prudent approach,” Freeland said in answer to a reporters query about this year’s budget.
She spoke in Hamilton, Ontario, on the sidelines of a meeting of Cabinet ministers that was streamed online.
