Liberal MP Affirms Caucus’s Strong Support for Finance Minister Freeland

Liberal MP James Maloney expressed full confidence in Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, dismissing rumors of her potential removal as mere “whispers in the shadows.” He emphasized the importance of unity within the party during a press conference on July 29.

Freeland, echoing Maloney’s sentiment, prioritized serving Canadians over speculation about her role. She affirmed her commitment to the government’s policies based on conversations within the caucus and her dedication to delivering results for the country.

Amid concerns raised by some officials, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau affirmed his support for Freeland’s abilities. Reports surfaced suggesting a cabinet shuffle and potential leadership changes within the Liberal Party as they trail in the polls.

Despite the ongoing discussions, both Freeland and Trudeau have expressed confidence in their positions. Freeland acknowledged the prime minister’s support but refrained from confirming any specific assurances regarding her role.
