Mark Carney is officially the next leader of the federal Liberal Party.
He was voted in on Sunday, beating out Chrystia Freeland, Karina Gould, and Frank Baylis.
Over 151,000 votes were cast with Carney receiving 85 per cent. Coming in second was Freeland with 8 per cent, third was Gould with 3.2 per cent, and Baylis, with 3 per cent.
“Mark Carney and the Liberal team are ready to deliver a strong plan that will grow our economy, stand up to Donald Trump, and build a better future for all Canadians,” said Sachit Merha, President of the Liberal Party of Canada.
Carney doesn't have a political background, rather an economic one. He previously served as the Governor of the Bank of Canada, helping the country navigate the 2008 financial crisis.
Carney also helped the United Kingdom’s economy through Brexit and served as the UN Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance.
Right now, Justin Trudeau remains as Canada's Prime Minister. It's not clear when he'll step down to allow Carney to take on the role though he has stated multiple times that he will resign.
