  • The issue of the Prime Minister's future is not closed, MP says, after caucus meeting in which party members urged Trudeau to step down

Chrystia Freeland has resigned from her position as Canada's Minister of Finance, a role she held since 2019. Her resignation comes amidst speculation about a potential cabinet shuffle by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has been facing pressure to refresh his team ahead of the next federal election. During her tenure, Freeland navigated the country through economic challenges including the global economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, implementing significant financial aid packages, and focusing on economic recovery and growth. She also played a key role in international trade negotiations and was instrumental in the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which was replaced by the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). Her departure marks the end of a significant chapter in Canadian economic policy, with her future political plans remaining undisclosed.
