The ceremony was attended by such dignitaries as former prime minister
Jean Chretien, two former Governors General, Assembly of First Nations
National Chief Perry Bellegarde and RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson.
As ministers were sworn in one after another, there was applause in the room and cheers outside Rideau Hall, where an estimated crowd of 3,500 people gathered to watch the ceremony on large TV screens.
Those who lined the long driveway leading to the Governor General’s residence also got the first glimpse of the new Liberal government, as Trudeau and his ministers walked down the path.
Justin Trudeau walked hand-in-hand with his wife, Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau, waving to the crowds. As they approached Rideau Hall, the couple was greeted by their young children, Xavier, Ella-Grace, and Hadrien, as well as Trudeau’s beaming mother, Margaret Trudeau.
