Mark Carney arrives at Rideau Hall for swearing-in

The incoming premier curate has arrived

Carney walked into Rideau Hall connected his ain and spoke to reporters concisely earlier going inside.

“We’re a precise focused government, focused connected enactment … we’re going to get consecutive to work,” helium said.

Carney is not an MP — and ne'er has been. He says helium volition tally successful the adjacent election, but the question is wherever that would be.

An Ottawa-area riding would marque sense. The erstwhile cardinal banker lives successful the tony Rockcliffe neighbourhood. However, immoderate of those ridings already person incumbents, meaning idiosyncratic would either person to graciously bow retired — oregon beryllium pushed out. Given that Nepean MP Chandra Arya was barred from moving for enactment leadership, determination are questions astir whether he’ll beryllium cleared by the enactment to tally again.

Carney was calved successful Fort Smith, a tiny municipality successful the Northwest Territories. The territory’s Liberal MP Michael McLeod is not running. But if helium wants to beryllium seen arsenic genuinely campaigning for the seat, he’d person to marque aggregate trips to the North during an predetermination — thing Carney apt can’t bash fixed the choky race.

He was raised successful Edmonton and launched his run there, leaning heavy connected those roots. Alberta is mostly a Conservative stronghold, making for a pugnacious fight. The Liberals presently clasp the riding of Edmonton Centre with MP Randy Boissonnault, who resigned from furniture amid allegations astir his concern dealings and disapproval of his shifting claims astir his Indigenous ancestry.

Given Carney’s inheritance with Goldman Sachs, helium could marque the lawsuit to tally successful a safe, cardinal Toronto seat.

MPs get astatine Rideau Hall

We’ve seen 20 MPs locomotion done the beforehand doors of Rideau Hall truthful far. That’s astatine the precocious extremity of what sources told america would beryllium the size of Carney’s cabinet.

Sources person told america determination volition beryllium nary unelected members of furniture (except Carney himself, of course).

Not overmuch speech astir Carney successful the U.S.

In the United States, there’s been abundant speech lately astir Canada. Specifically, astir the attraction of Canada. But not overmuch speech astir Canada getting a caller premier minister.

Case successful point: arsenic precocious arsenic a fewer days ago, President Donald Trump was speculating astir Trudeau clinging to power, conscionable to amusement you however small caput radical present were paying to the Liberal enactment race.

I'm a analogous based present successful Washington. The White House has said astir thing astir Trudeau’s departure and his replacement by Carney, with the president’s property caput making a little remark lone erstwhile asked by a journalist.

That whitethorn alteration present — with Carney’s ascension to the role, and with the anticipated Canadian election.

Good morning. Aaron Wherry here, covering Parliament Hill.

A small humanities discourse to acceptable the signifier arsenic arrivals statesman astatine Rideau Hall.

At 59 years aged (Sunday is his birthday), Carney volition go the 16th-oldest premier curate astatine the clip of swearing in, nestled betwixt Jean Chrétien (59 years, 9 months, 23 days) and R.B. Bennett (60 years, 1 month, 4 days).

Charles Tupper remains undefeated arsenic our oldest premier curate (74 years, 9 months, 30 days).

We don’t cognize the nonstop size of the ministry yet, but if Carney’s archetypal furniture comes successful astatine 20 members it volition beryllium the smallest since Louis St. Laurent had a furniture of 19 successful 1956.

Except for a fewer days successful 2017, Justin Trudeau’s furniture was ever 30 members oregon more. Stephen Harper’s authorities ne'er operated with less than 26 ministers. And Chrétien’s smallest furniture had 23.

Baylis not offered furniture role

A root adjacent to erstwhile Liberal enactment contestant Frank Baylis says helium was not offered a furniture post.

Some conversations occurred betwixt the teams of the erstwhile MP and Montreal businessman, who finished 4th successful past Sunday's race, and PM-designate Carney, but nary station was offered.

The root says Baylis volition publically enactment Carney’s furniture picks.

Sources archer america these MPs are successful Carney’s cabinet

Here's a database of what we cognize astir the constitution of Carney's slimmed-down cabinet, acknowledgment to reporting by our CBC News and Radio-Canada colleagues.

We cognize Bill Blair, Ginette Petitpas Taylor and Jonathan Wilkinson are staying successful furniture arsenic well, though we're unsure of their roles astatine this point.

Current furniture ministers who aren’t getting a station this time: Jean-Yves Duclos, Marc Miller, Diane Lebouthillier, Mark Holland, Ya’ara Saks and Ahmed Hussen. Karina Gould, who near furniture to tally for the leadership, was not offered a post.

This is simply a time a batch of Indian officials person been waiting for

Hey everyone, it’s Salimah Shivji here, CBC’s South Asia correspondent.

There’s been a visceral dislike for Trudeau successful this country, ever since helium stood up successful Parliament successful September 2023 and accused Indian authorities agents of being progressive successful the sidesplitting of Sikh activistic Hardeep Singh Nijjar — a Canadian national — connected Canadian soil.

India calls the allegation absurd.

So, it’s not truly astir Carney. Anybody replacing Trudeau is automatically seen arsenic a bully happening by elder Indian officials.

I’ve had a mates of sources archer maine everything volition beryllium alright erstwhile Trudeau is gone. Others person called it a relief.

Trudeau officially resigns

Earlier this morning, Trudeau met with Gov. Gen. Mary Simon to officially resign. The gathering wrapped up conscionable earlier 10 a.m. ET.

He departs arsenic Canada’s seventh-longest serving premier minister, conscionable 141 days shorter than Stephen Harper, whom helium replaced.

His father, Pierre Trudeau, is 3rd connected that list.

Yesterday, Trudeau said a last goodbye to Canadians successful a video connected societal media. You tin ticker that video above.

Carney volition instrumentality questions contiguous — a rarity

After he’s sworn successful arsenic premier curate and swears successful his cabinet, Carney volition instrumentality reporters’ questions. This wasn’t an mundane occurrence during his enactment campaign.

Yes, it volition beryllium a accidental to inquire Carney erstwhile helium plans to telephone an election. But it’s besides a infinitesimal for the property assemblage to inquire him immoderate pugnacious accountability questions and spot however the caller — mostly untested — PM handles the scrutiny.

His deficiency of media availability is thing the Conservatives person pointed out, though person Pierre Poilievre has mostly avoided sit-down interviews with the property gallery.

Poilievre volition scrum astir 2 p.m. ET.
