Read the full list of Mark Carney’s first cabinet — and who’s left out

Article content

Mark Carney is officially Canada’s 24th prime minister. About an hour after Justin Trudeau officially resigned on Friday, Carney’s first cabinet was sworn in alongside him at a ceremony at Rideau Hall. The new Liberal government has 24 ministers — 13 men and 11 women, including Carney — and no deputy prime minister. It maintains Trudeau’s core team that has been dealing with the trade war with U.S. President Donald Trump, but drops 18 members of the former prime minister’s cabinet.

Mark Carney sworn in as prime minister after Trudeau officially resigns

“Today we’re building a government that meets the moment,” Carney posted on X. “Canadians expect action — and that’s what this team will deliver. A smaller, experienced cabinet that moves faster, secures our economy, and protects Canada’s future.”

This could be Carney’s only cabinet. An election is expected before March 24, when Parliament is scheduled to resume. Here’s the complete list of who’s in and who’s out, including Carney’s former leadership rivals Chrystia Freeland and Karina Gould.
