One of Carney’s first orders of business was to eliminate a carbon tax — which had been slated to rise on April 1.

Carney has also allegedly accepted invitations to visit France and the U.K. this week to talk about improving trade partnerships.

For now, parliament is officially prorogued until Monday, March 24.

If Carney does not call an election once parliament is back in session, it’s likely a non-confidence motion will again be introduced in the House of Commons by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.

Poilievre had previously introduced three such motions prior to the break, which all failed.

With each day that passes, Carney is in a potential record-setting position as the shortest serving prime minister — if the Liberals are not re-elected.

Short-serving prime ministers

So far, the shortest total time in office was 68 days, served by , a former Nova Scotia premier who served as prime minister following Confederation.

He became prime minister on May 1, 1896, and served before being defeated in a general election in June.

According to the Canadian Encyclopedia, he resigned on July 8, having served only 10 weeks as prime minister — currently the shortest tenure in Canadian history.

• If Carney lasts as prime minister until June 1, he’ll pass Turner’s record.

Following closely behind Tupper is .

Turner served as a federal justice minister and finance minister under Pierre Trudeau in the 1960s and 70s.

Following some conflict with the party’s platform, Turner ended up handing in his resignation on Sept. 9, 1975. At the time, he also walked away from the Liberal party.

But when Pierre Trudeau stepped away as leader of the Liberal party in 1984, Turner came back to the fold, winning the leadership race against Jean Chrétien.

Much like Carney, Turner automatically became Canada’s prime minister on June 30, 1984.

He was not required to call an election until 1985, but decided to call one for Sept. 4, 1984.

The Liberals were easily defeated, and that meant Turner only spent 79 days serving as prime minister.

• If Carney remains serving as prime minister until June 1, he will pass Turner’s record.

Next up is , a Vancouver-area MP who served from 1988 until Oct. 24, 1993.

Campbell was Canada’s first female justice minister and attorney general, and female minister of national defence and minister of veterans affairs.

When Brian Mulroney’s popularity waned in 1993, she was selected as the first woman to lead the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada on June 13, 1993.

She was sworn in as prime minister on June 25, 1993, and served until defeated during the regular general election Oct. 25, 1993.

Exactly six months after being sworn in, Campbell resigned, totalling 123 days as prime minister.

• If Carney is still prime minister after July 24, he’ll pass Campbell’s tenure.
