Mark Carney sworn in as Canada's 24th prime minister
@MARKJCARNEY — Mark Carney has been officially sworn in as Canada's 24th prime minister. The swearing in took place today (Friday, March 14).

OTTAWA  — 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. 

Here’s a list of ministers and their portfolios: 

  • Dominic LeBlanc, minister of international trade and intergovernmental affairs and president of the King’s Privy Council for Canada
  • Mélanie Joly, minister of foreign affairs and international development
  • François-Philippe Champagne, minister of finance

  • Gary Anandasangaree, minister of justice and attorney general of Canada and minister of Crown-Indigenous relations and northern affairs
  • Rechie Valdez, chief government whip
  • Steven MacKinnon, minister of jobs and families
  • David McGuinty, minister of public safety and emergency preparedness
  • Terry Duguid, minister of environment and climate change
  • Nate Erskine-Smith, minister of housing, infrastructure and communities
