A question mark over how Canada's Prime Minister, Mark Carney, will perform.

The Liberal Party won the country's election yesterday, beating the Conservative party, and locking down a fourth term.

The win means Carney will keep hold of the top job he took over from Justin Trudeau six weeks ago.

Globe and Mail Ottawa Bureau Chief Robert Fife told Mike Hosking he has no experience in retail policy, but headed the banks of Canada and England.

He says given these credentials, he should do okay, but there's been no real opportunity to see him perform as Prime Minister.

There’s also doubts Carney will be able to secure a majority government, as he’s currently sitting at 169 seats of the 172 needed.

Fife doesn't think he'll get up to this number, but may reach 170.
