OTTAWA, Canada: Mark Carney is slated to take the oath as Canada’s Prime Minister on March 14, Russian News Agency (TASS) reported, citing CTV television on Wednesday.
According to the report, the ceremony will take place at 11 am at the residence of Canada’s Governor General, Mary Simon.
Along with Carney, members of his Cabinet will also be sworn in, but it is still unclear who they are.
Incumbent Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will resign right before the ceremony.
On March 9, the ruling Liberal Party of Canada elected former Bank of Canada Governor, Mark Carney, as its new leader.
He will serve as Prime Minister until the next parliamentary elections, which are currently scheduled for October 20.
There is a chance that Carney could call an early election.
Trudeau has been in office since 2015. – BERNAMA-TASS
