Canada will officially have a new Prime Minister Friday morning.

Mark Carney will be sworn in as the country’s 24th PM at a ceremony at Rideau Hall in Ottawa after Governor General Mary Simon accepts Justin Trudeau’s resignation.

Carney won the Liberal leadership on Sunday.

During his final speech as Liberal leader, Justin Trudeau said he was “damn proud” of what he helped accomplish over the last decade, even as his agenda was often overtaken by unprecedented global events.

Once Carney has been sworn in, he’ll have the power to trigger an early federal campaign, or take risk testing the confidence of his new government in the House of Commons later this month.
