New federal Finance Minister Joe Oliver will speak to reporters after he's sworn into his new role.
CBCnews.ca will carry it live.
Oliver will be speaking from Rideau Hall, where he arrived Wednesday morning to move from natural resources minister to finance.
London West MP Ed Holder and Kenora, Ont. MP Greg Rickford, who is currently parliamentary secretary to the minister of aboriginal affairs, have also arrived at the home of the Governor General. Rickford is expected to get the natural resources portfolio.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper's motorcade has also arrived, though he was hidden from reporters as he headed into the building.
Oliver, who is the MP for Eglinton-Lawrence and has been natural resources minister since he was elected in 2011, will replace Jim Flaherty now that Flaherty is stepping down from cabinet.
