Chrystia Freeland to leave cabinet for Ukraine envoy role: reports

Transport Minister Chrystia Freeland is expected to leave cabinet for a special envoy role with Ukraine, according to multiple media reports.

The announcement could come as soon as later today.

Freeland joined Prime Minister Mark Carney's cabinet meeting this morning in Ottawa but blew past the TV cameras and did not answer any questions about her political future.

Freeland shook up Canadian politics late last year when she resigned as finance minister to former prime minister Justin Trudeau, a major blow that led to his resignation in January.

Freeland sought Liberal Party leadership earlier this year, positioning herself as someone who can stand up to U.S. President Donald Trump.

But she ultimately lost to Carney in March, who won a resounding mandate from party grassroots.
