PM Carney, Cabinet sworn in at Rideau Hall
Mark Carney is now officially Canada's 24th Prime Minister after being sworn in at Rideau Hall in Ottawa at a ceremony this morning.
Prime Minister Carney's cabinet, a mix of old and new faces, was also sworn in as the Federal Liberals end the Justin Trudeau era.
Among the key cabinet ministers sworn in today:
Chrystia Freeland – Transport Minister
Mélanie Joly – Foreign Affairs Minister
Jonathan Wilkinson – Natural Resources Minister
Dominic LeBlanc – International Trade Minister
François-Philippe Champagne – Finance Minister
Anita Anand – Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry
Steven Guilbeault – Minister of Canadian Culture and Identity, Quebec Lieutenant
David McGuinty – Public Safety Minister
Nate Erskine-Smith – Housing Minister
Arielle Kayabaga – Government House Leader
Ali Ehsassi – Public Services and Procurement Minister
Kody Blois – Agriculture Minister
There are also 12 other members of cabinet.
Speculation continues about a possible Spring Election.
If Carney calls one next week, we could be headed to the polls by the end of April or beginning of May.
