Former central banker Mark Carney, fresh from a landslide victory to become the leader of Canada's ruling Liberal Party and the country's next prime minister, met Justin Trudeau on Monday and said the formal handover of power would be quick.

Canada's next Prime Minister has emerged as a leader in the climate space, bridging the financial sector and the climate fight.

Carney, who will take over the leadership of both his party and his country, is expected to call a snap election shortly after being sworn into office.
