OTTAWA — Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc became finance minister late Monday, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau moved to quickly fill a sudden vacan

cy after Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland tendered her resignation from cabinet that morning.

In her resignation letter that morning, Freeland said she and Trudeau found themselves at odds for weeks about “the best path forward for Canada.” “The government of Canada itself is spiralling out of control, right before our eyes, and at the very worst time,” he told reporters on Parliament Hill. Singh’s New Democrats have voted with the Liberals to defeat Conservative non-confidence motions in the House three times this fall.

The financial package announced with her economic snapshot contains measures designed to respond to demands made by Trump to beef up the border. Freeland’s bombshell announcement landed just as Housing Minister Sean Fraser was holding his own news conference to announce he will not seek re-election, citing a need to be closer to his family.

Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon said he regrets Freeland’s departure, but the government “remains very strong with a number of very capable ministers and the prime minister.”
