Carney 24th Prime Minister

Mark Carney has been officially sworn in as Canada's 24th prime minister in a ceremony at Rideau Hall, about an hour after Justin Trudeau formally resigned.

Carney told reporters on his way into the ceremony that his government is focused and ready to get to work.

The new Liberal government has 24 ministers, including Carney, and includes a mix of Trudeau-era ministers and new faces.

Members of the core team that has been in charge of handling U.S.-Canada relations since Donald Trump returned to the White House are still in cabinet.

They include Mélanie Joly, François-Philippe Champagne, David McGuinty and Dominic LeBlanc.

This cabinet is expected to be in place when a general election is launched — likely before March 24, the date Parliament is set to resume.
