Despite stepping down from her roles as deputy prime minister and finance minister, Chrystia Freeland continues to wield significant influence through her involvement on six government committees.
Freeland chairs two committees, including one focused on Canada-U.S. relations. In this committee, she oversees policies affecting bilateral ties and mutual interests between the two nations.
She also leads the Ministerial Working Group on the Middle Class, Economy and Housing, which develops strategies for housing affordability and middle-class support.
As a member of the Treasury Board, Freeland continues to oversee federal financial management and public service administration.
Her position grants her continued influence over government spending decisions and regulatory policies.
The former finance minister's security clearance remains intact through her role on the National Security Council, where she participates in strategic decision-making and intelligence analysis discussions.
Freeland also serves as vice-chair of the Cabinet Committee on Agenda, Results, and Communications and is a member of the Ministerial Working Group on Regulatory Efficiency for Clean Growth Projects, which coordinates the government's environmental initiatives.
Freeland's continued involvement in committees indicates that she remains a key player in shaping federal policy and Trudeau’s government, particularly in the areas of the economy and international relations.
