Inside Mark Carney's PMO where ministers get called out, punctuality matters and patience is on short supply

OTTAWA — Days after the federal election, Prime Minister Mark Carney stepped into the National Press Theatre and did something Canadians hadn’t seen in nearly 10 years under Justin Trudeau: he started the press conference virtually on time.

Carney’s punctuality was a stark contrast with Trudeau, who would frequently start events 30 to 60 minutes later than planned. It is also one of many emerging differences in how the former central banker runs his office, cabinet and caucus compared with his predecessor.
