Global National: April 7

The federal government unveils the 2022 budget, as plenty of Canadians worry about the rising cost of living. The new measures to help existing homeowners, first-time homebuyers, the step towards national dental care, the money earmarked for the Indigenous community and the military, and how the opposition Conservatives feel about the plans. Global National anchor and executive editor Dawna Friesen speaks one-on-one with Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland about whom she thought about while crafting the budget, the tax on the profits of big banks, and whether Canada is doing enough to help war-torn Ukraine. The United Nations has suspended Russia from the Human Rights Council. How Moscow responded, and how Ukraine is urgently issuing fresh pleas for more military aid from NATO. And ready for blast off: what the first all-civilian spaceflight to the International Space Station could mean for commercializing space.
