READOUT: Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen’s Meeting
with Canadian Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister
Chrystia Freeland
October 12, 2021

WASHINGTON – Earlier today, Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen met with Canadian
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland to discuss U.S.-Canadian shared priorities such as
continuing to work together on climate-related financial risks and ensuring the global
economic recovery. Secretary Yellen and the Deputy Prime Minister also discussed the
historic global tax deal announced on October 8 by the OECD Inclusive Framework.
Secretary Yellen expressed gratitude to the Deputy Prime Minister for her dedication to
improving the global tax regime that will ensure profitable corporations pay their fair share
and provide governments with the resources to invest in their people and economies. The
Secretary acknowledged the strong bonds between Canada and the United States, and the
importance of this relationship to making possible the international agreement of 136
nations -- representing 94% of the world’s GDP – to reshape the global tax system.
