Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland is asking all Canadians to put in their two-cents' worth as she prepares what she calls one of the most important federal budgets in the country's history.

Freeland is launching consultations designed to help Canada recover from the pandemic.

She says she wants people to share their priorities when it comes to the government supporting families and businesses.

The government has set up a website called letstalkbudget2021.ca, where Canadians can fill out a questionnaire and share their views.

Freeland says the Trudeau government will emphasize the interconnectedness of the US-Canadian economies

The White House has announced an executive order establishing a new Buy American regime, aimed at ensuring US workers and companies reap the benefits of government spending.

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland says the Trudeau government will emphasize the interconnectedness of the two economies.

Today's executive order comes less than a week after Biden rescinded a presidential permit for the Keystone X-L pipeline expansion.
