Mar 14, 2025 | 8:36 AM

It only took about an hour for Justin Trudeau to resign and Mark Carney to take his place as prime minister.

Carney was sworn in at Rideau Hall in Ottawa Friday morning after winning last weekend’s Liberal leadership with 86 per cent of the votes.

He also unveiled his Cabinet, with members of the core team in charge of handling Canada-U-S relations since Donald Trump returned to the White House staying in place.

A general election is expected to be launched before March 24th, the date when Parliament is set to resume.

Here is Carney’s 24-member cabinet, a team of ministers who will lead during the coming federal election campaign:

•Dominic LeBlanc, minister of international trade and intergovernmental affairs and president of the King’s Privy Council for Canada
• Mélanie Joly, minister of foreign affairs and international development
• François-Philippe Champagne, minister of finance
• Anita Anand, minister of innovation, science and industry
• Bill Blair, minister of national defence
• Patty Hajdu, minister of Indigenous services
• Jonathan Wilkinson, minister of energy and natural resources
• Ginette Petitpas Taylor, president of the Treasury Board
• Steven Guilbeault, minister of Canadian culture and identity, Parks Canada and Quebec lieutenant
• Chrystia Freeland, minister of transport and internal trade
• Kamal Khera, minister of health
• Gary Anandasangaree, minister of justice and attorney general of Canada and minister of Crown-Indigenous relations and northern affairs
• Rechie Valdez, chief government whip
• Steven MacKinnon, minister of jobs and families
• David McGuinty, minister of public safety and emergency preparedness
• Terry Duguid, minister of environment and climate change
• Nate Erskine-Smith, minister of housing, infrastructure and communities
• Rachel Bendayan, minister of immigration, refugees and citizenship
