The United Steelworkers Union said Mark Carney’s ascension to the job of prime minister in the middle of an escalating trade war calls for urgent action.
Carney was sworn in as Canada ’s 24th prime minister on Friday morning with the shadow of a trade war looming over his transition from Justin Trudeau, who resigned earlier in the day.
“During his leadership campaign, Prime Minister Carney made various promises, including building more homes, expanding clean energy systems, and strengthening trade-enabling infrastructure. Canada’s construction industry strongly supports these priorities and is ready to work and collaborate with the federal government to make it happen,” said Rodrigue Gilbert, president of the Canadian Construction Association.
These include Public Safety Minister David McGuinty and Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly, who remain in their roles from the previous cabinet.Dominic LeBlanc will remain as minister of intergovernmental affairs and also becomes minister of international trade, while his finance portfolio goes to François-Philippe Champagne, who is the new finance minister.
