OTTAWA \u2014 Prime Minister Mark Carney is scheduled to outline the priorities of his new government this morning four days after Canadians voted in the Liberals for a fourth mandate.<\/p>\n
Carney will speak to the media and take questions at 11 a.m. EDT.<\/p>\n
He has promised to move immediately to address ongoing trade tensions with the United States and spoke by phone with U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Trump says the two will meet in Washington within the next week though Carney\u2019s office has not confirmed that.<\/p>\n
Carney has not spoken publicly since election night when he gave a victory speech at an Ottawa hockey arena promising to chart a new course for Canada away from its intense dependence on the United States.<\/p>\n
Elections Canada shows the Liberal party won 168 seats, down one from the total on Monday, after a validation process showed the winner in the Quebec riding of Terrebonne was the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois.<\/p>\n
The Conservative party won 144 seats, while the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois holds 23, the NDP has seven and the Green Party has one.<\/p>\n
In the days since the election Carney has spent time speaking to multiple international leaders including King Charles, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, European Council President Antonio Costa and Secretary-General of the United Nations Ant\u00f3nio Guterres.<\/p>\n
