Longtime Liberal MP and former cabinet minister Chrystia Freeland, who was a driving force in Canadian politics throughout the past decade, will resign as a member of Parliament on Friday.
"It has been an immense honour to serve my constituents and all Canadians in Parliament since 2013," Freeland said in a social media post Wednesday.
"Going forward, I will continue to support and help build Canada in every way I can, while championing the brave fight of the people of Ukraine, a cause I have been committed to my entire life."
