Canada: PM Trudeau on fall economic statement, notwithstanding clause – November 4, 2022

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland respond to questions from reporters in Toronto after discussing economic measures aimed at helping families amid high inflation. The news conference comes one day after the release of their government's fall economic statement. They are joined by Michael Coteau, MP for Don Valley East. Freeland's latest fiscal update projects a budget surplus by 2028, but warns of a possible recession in the first quarter of 2023. The prime minister faces questions about the use of the notwithstanding clause by provincial governments and the ongoing Emergencies Act inquiry.
