Mark Carney has officially swore as the new Prime Minister of Canada in a ceremony held at Rideau Hall in Ottawa.
During the ceremony, Carney promised loyalty to King Carlos III, as well as his heirs and successors.
The event also saw the members of their newly formed cabinet start lending their oaths, preparing the scenario for the incoming administration agenda.
Speaking briefly with journalists upon arrival, Carney said about his government: “We are going to put work directly.”

According to the BBC, the new prime minister is expected to go today to the Canadians later in his first official speech since he assumed the position.
Carney will make his first trip abroad as a prime minister next week, addressing Europe instead of the United States, which traditionally houses the first foreign visit of the Canadian leader.
The international chief correspondent, Lyse Doucet, reports that the change occurs following the radical tariffs imposed by the president of the United States, Donald Trump, on both sides of the Atlantic.
Early in the day, the outgoing prime minister, Justin Trudeau, formally resigned, concluding his mandate with a message to the country: “For trusting me, for challenging me.”
