WATCH: Trudeau’s finance minister can’t answer how much debt Canada has

Instead of answering the question from the Conservative Finance Critic Pierre Poilievre, Freeland said that "we are going to give a full report on Canada's public finances on Tuesday."

Poilievre then tried to redirect Freeland to the question when she began to discuss a separate question.

Later on, Poilievre tweeted that the "finance minister could not tell the committee how much debt there is in Canada today or how much a 1% interest rate increase would cost taxpayers on the national debt."

"That is not a joke," he added.

Chrystia Freeland has made the Forbes list of the 100 most powerful women in the world. She also serves as the deputy prime minister.

Freeland became a member of parliament in 2013 in a Toronto riding of University—Rosedale.

As finance minister, Freeland has watched over unprecedented spending from the federal government and a surging inflation rate, which the Bank of Canada expects to reach 5 percent.

On top of this, Canada's unemployment rate stands at a miserable 6.7 percent while small businesses suffer from dramatic labour shortages.
