Chrystia Freeland resigned as the minister of finance in a scathing letter to the prime minister.

The fall fiscal update on Ottawa ’s finances ultimately presented a picture of economic uncertainty and a deteriorating fiscal position for the Liberal government.

The federal government pointed to one -time costs incurred from phased out COVID-19 support and a $16.4-billion line item for Indigenous contingent liabilities.

The fall economic statement includes $24.2 billion in new spending over six years , offset by $3.1 billion in savings.

The federal government is promising to spend $1.3 billion to beef up Canada ’s border security.

In her resignation letter, Freeland said she and Trudeau were “at odds about the best path forward for Canada ”.
