OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney says Ontario Liberal MP Chrystia Freeland’s upcoming resignation from the House of Commons is “consistent” with taking a role as an unpaid economic development adviser for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Carney made the remarks at a news conference in Paris today, where he is meeting with Ukraine allies.
Freeland announced her immediate resignation as Carney’s special representative on the reconstruction of Ukraine and eventual resignation as a member of Parliament on Monday.
More coming.
