CBC News Chief Political Correspondent Rosemary Barton hosts special coverage as Mark Carney is sworn in as Canada’s 24th prime minister.
Liberal Leader Mark Carney will officially become Canada’s next prime minister within a few hours, taking the reins as the country barrels toward a general election and continues to fend off verbal and economic attacks from U.S. President Donald Trump.
The former central banker will become Canada’s 24th prime minister after Governor General Mary Simon swears him in at Rideau Hall in Ottawa.
The swearing-in will begin around 11 a.m. ET and CBC News will have special coverage beginning at 10 a.m.
Outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will meet with Simon first to resign and recommend that she ask the new leader to form a government and new ministry.
After Carney is officially in place, his cabinet will then take their oaths.
