Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland says the need for MPs to approve a new round of pandemic aid has become more important amid fears related to the Omicron variant of COVID-19.

Speaking to the House of Commons finance committee, Freeland says the variant has injected renewed uncertainty into the economy, in arguing for the government's latest benefits package.

Freeland says the lockdown support contained in the bill would act as an economic insurance policy if there is another surge in the virus or new variants of concern. The parliamentary budget officer says the federal government's plan to extend its wage subsidy will push the overall price for the program to almost $106.7 billion.

Even you Brutus!

If you can gather in sports arenas, shopping malls, entertainment venues, etc. you can go to work! Stop making Canada a welfare state & let’s get to work. Time Ms Freeland gave Canadians a report on Liberal Government spending bf looking for more money to squander.

No

scamdemic

Omicron is a joke, less than the flu.

How about raising concerns about the debt Canada Is in?

of course she did

She is a dope…

We have to stop spending. Where is the money coming from? I want to see a plan!

Come on CTV

Conservatives moaning about this will end up using benefits from this bill.

Wonder what’s hiding in this Bill that they are pushing through! Hope the opposition take a close look! Omicron is getting a lot of attention for a variant that isn’t even understood yet! Such lies all the time! So frustrating!

What would a journalist who runs a country’s finances poorly, and pretends to also know immunology, say: “Help us pile on some more debt, because…… Omicron!”

Of course she does.... Just spend more money... The bank is her credit card

Never miss an opportunity

Where is all the money coming from? Omg people open your eyes this government is taking us down a dark road!! Can’t believe how blind Canadians have become!!

Please show Canadians the the studies on the efficacy of the vaccines? Human rights matter!

Why does cafreeland always look like she is about to cry if she doesn't get her way?

We are screwed fiscally. Austerity will arrive some day and probably last at least a decade.

The concern is, natural immunity may be built due to the omicron. Lowering covid stats. No money off healthy people.

Freeland is a Bupid Stitch..

Minister of Fear Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD) Freeland. Keep pushing that panic button. But read the boy who called wolf at bedtime. Maybe it will help you understand why all Canadian's yawn when you speak.

CP24 The liberal_party JustinTrudeau cafreeland Have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, they are absolutely incompetent and unprepared when it comes to leading this country in any way shape or form. What an embarrassment. GetVaccinatedNow

She is pushing for more inflation, poor businesses poor taxpayers...

Just pass the bill, lot of people still have hard time finding jobs in some fields... specially with Christmas just around the corner.

LOL is omnicron a pandemic of fiscal irresponsibility or a cover to create new dollars to avoid financial collapse? Questionable timing with Evergrande

Who’s in your wallet?

8000+ cases of herpies in 3 months. THIS IS NOT IMFORMED CONSENT

Piss off using a virus as an excuse to force an agenda. Omicron is not a problem it is delta that is

Where is the $7+ billion coming from?

Who cares

CBCNews TorontoStar CPHO_Canada globalnews BogochIsaac What AID would do? First of all control the incoming virus into Canada by squeezing international travel in n out. Then test, trace, isolate & cure would work. IT IS SICKENING TO TOLERATE EXPERTS/POLITICIANS anymore.

Yes let's worry about a virus that kills no one. Just as much as waste of time as that conversion therapy bill was.

where do gangs sign up for free tax payers money?
