Minister of Foreign Affairs Chrystia Freeland speaks to reporters in the foyer of the House of Commons following a cabinet meeting on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Tuesday, Sept. 18, 2018. Ultimately, Canada\'s foreign minister led the country\'s efforts to salvage a new North American free trade deal. That white-knuckle ride in 2018 has earned Freeland the title of Canada\'s business news maker of the year. She was the runaway choice of 81 per cent of editors surveyed by The Canadian Press.
