Mark Carney will soon be sworn in as Canada’s 24th Prime Minister.
He officially takes over from Justin Trudeau today, with a swearing in ceremony at Rideau Hall. Trudeau announced back in January that he would resign as prime minister and Liberal leader once the party chooses a new leader.
Mark Carney decisively won the Liberal leadership Sunday on the first ballot with 85.9 per cent of the points. You can watch the live swearing-in ceremony on NTV, and NTV+.
CTV News has confirmed Carney will be making several big adjustments to what’s largely being viewed as his pre-election cabinet.
A senior government source said Carney will have around 20 people on his front bench, down from Trudeau’s last 36-person cabinet.
