Carney posted on X just before he was sworn in, that his smaller cabinet is experienced and will “move faster” and “protect Canada’s future.”

Today, we’re building a government that meets the moment. Canadians expect action — and that’s what this team will deliver. A smaller, experienced cabinet that moves faster, secures our economy, and protects Canada’s future.
