Mark Carney will officially become Canada’s 24th prime minister today.
Carney, who secured the Liberal leadership by a landslide victory this past Sunday, will be sworn in at Rideau Hall at 12:30 NST.
The question now is who will make up Carney’s cabinet, which is expected to be smaller than Justin Trudeau’s cabinet—which consists of 37 members, including himself.
That means several ministers are expected to be doing double-duty with more than one portfolio to carry.
An election call is expected before the House of Commons returns from prorogation on March 24.
