Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has chosen his top fixer in cabinet, Dominic LeBlanc, to replace Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland after she suddenly tendered her resignation from cabinet Monday morning.
“We understand that cost of living for a huge, huge number of Canadians is a very significant issue and they expect their government to be focused on affordability issues,” LeBlanc said after the ceremony. “We need to take that threat extremely seriously. That means keeping our fiscal powder dry, so we have the reserves we may need for a coming tariff war. That means eschewing costly political gimmicks, which we can ill afford and which make Canadians doubt that we recognize the gravity of the moment.”Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre charged that Freeland’s resignation proves Trudeau has lost his grip.
He said “all options are on the table,” yet refused to say if he is finally ready to bring down the minority government. Freeland’s resignation came just as she was to deliver the fall economic statement, which revealed a deficit of $61.9 billion that blew past the fiscal guardrail she set of $40 billion for the year.
“I have a question for the finance minister,” he said, looking across to Freeland’s empty seat. “Who are you?”
