Mark Carney will be officially sworn in as Canada’s next prime minister on Friday, marking the end of Justin Trudeau’s nine-year tenure. The swearing-in ceremony, led by Governor General Mary Simon, is scheduled for 11 a.m.
Carney, a former central banker who previously served as governor of the Bank of Canada and Bank of England, was elected leader of the Liberal Party of Canada on Sunday. He takes office during a challenging period, with Canada embroiled in a trade dispute with the United States under President Donald Trump and an impending general election on the horizon.
Bloomberg reports that Carney's cabinet will be significantly smaller than Trudeau’s, potentially reducing the number of ministers from 37 to between 15 and 20. The streamlined cabinet could reflect a shift in governance style as Carney navigates economic and diplomatic challenges.
Carney’s leadership will be closely watched as he transitions from a financial policymaker to a political leader, tasked with steering Canada through a volatile global landscape. His experience in central banking and economic strategy could play a crucial role in shaping the country’s future policies.
With political tensions and economic uncertainty rising, Carney’s approach to leadership, trade negotiations, and domestic policies will be pivotal in determining Canada’s trajectory in the coming months.
