Liberal leader Mark Carney has officially been sworn in as Canada’s 24th prime minister.

Gov. Gen. Mary Simon presided over a swearing-in ceremony at Rideau Hall on Friday morning.

Carney won the Liberal leadership race just five days ago with nearly 86 per cent of the vote.

Also being sworn in on Friday are the Liberal MPs who will make up Carney’s cabinet.

His ministry is expected to be much smaller than that of his predecessor, Justin Trudeau.

Trudeau announced his intention to resign in January, triggering a Liberal leadership race.

More to come.
