PM Freeland

Chrystia Freeland to leave Parliament for Ukrainian advisory role

Freeland’s career has long blended domestic and international leadership. In 2014, she was added to a Kremlin blacklist of Western officials banned from entering Russia in response to Canadian and Western sanctions. As finance minister in 2020, she oversaw Canada’s economic response to the Covid-19 pandemic, becoming the first woman in the country to hold the position.
