OTTAWA 鈥� Mark Carney will be sworn in as Canada's 24th prime minister at a ceremony at Rideau Hall Friday after the formal resignation of Justin Trudeau.
A senior Liberal source says a new cabinet will also be sworn in.
The Governor General's office is expected to publicly announce the details shortly.
Carney, who was selected as Liberal leader Sunday in a landslide vote, has promised a "seamless" and "quick" transition.
Carney has already been meeting with seniors officials, including Canada's chief of defence staff, PMO staff and Canada's ambassador to the U.S.
A federal election call is widely expected soon after Carney is installed as prime minister.
