Former central banker Mark Carney will not be joining the Liberal government and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is giving no indication he will step down, according to newly minted Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc.

LeBlanc spoke on several hot issues that have gripped Ottawa in recent days in an interview with Brunswick News. The minister from New Brunswick said he’s been given assurances the finance portfolio is firmly in his hands, as rumours have been swirling that Trudeau intended to give the role to Carney.
