Prime minister-designate Mark Carney met with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Monday as the new Liberal leader takes the reins of power after a landslide victory in Sunday’s party election.
Carney told reporters at Parliament Hill that the meeting was long and they discussed the most pressing issues of the day: Canada-U.S. relations and other matters of national security.
He said the government handover will be “seamless” and “quick” and he said his official swearing-in will happen in short order.
“The good news is you’ll be seeing probably more of me than you want,” he joked. “We’ll be coming back soon.”
