Mark Carney was officially sworn in as Canada's 24th Prime Minister in a ceremony at Rideau Hall earlier today. The former central banker, known for his leadership during economic crises, has taken the reins from Justin Trudeau, marking a new chapter for the Liberal government.

In his first major move as Prime Minister, Carney unveiled a leaner cabinet, reducing the number of ministers from 39 under Trudeau to just 24. This streamlined team is designed to be more agile and focused on addressing pressing issues, including trade tensions with the United States and economic challenges at home. Notable changes include the elimination of the Deputy Prime Minister role and the appointment of François-Philippe Champagne as Finance Minister, replacing Dominic LeBlanc, who now oversees international trade.

Carney emphasized that his cabinet reflects a balance of continuity and change, with experienced ministers retaining key roles while new faces bring fresh perspectives. "Canadians expect action, and this team is ready to deliver," Carney stated during his inaugural address.

The new Prime Minister's tenure begins amidst speculation of an imminent federal election, adding urgency to his administration's agenda. As Carney steps into this pivotal role, all eyes are on his ability to navigate the challenges ahead and leave his mark on Canada's political landscape.
