OTTAWA - Paul Martin will be prime minister on Dec. 12.

Prime Minister Jean Chrétien said Tuesday, following a meeting with his successor, that a new cabinet would be sworn in on that date.

There had been speculation Chrétien would stay in 24 Sussex Drive through Christmas, but he told reporters on Tuesday he was ready to move.

"The apartment is ready since six weeks," he said. "The bed is already made…

"Some say that Paul was patient – my wife was even much more patient."

Martin has been waiting since 1990, when he lost the leadership to Chrétien.
