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.
