On December 16, 2024, Chrystia Freeland, the incumbent Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance of Canada resigned from her position in Justin Trudeau's government prior to the government's fall economic statement. She was subsequently replaced by Dominic LeBlanc. This "sent shockwaves" through Canadian politics, with opposition leader Pierre Poilievre calling for a vote of no confidence, and NDP leader Jagmeet Singh calling for Trudeau to resign from office, the first time throughout Trudeau's tenure as prime minister that he had done so.
Freeland's resignation happened following the 2024 United States presidential election, amid the prospect of the upcoming Trump administration threatening to impose 25% tariffs upon Canada, with Freeland writing to Trudeau that Canada faces a grave challenge due to this. The resignation was seen as a "clear rebuke" of Justin Trudeau, with speculation arising as to the future of his leadership. The economic statement was eventually released at 4:11 PM EST.
