Greg Fergus Will Remain as Speaker Despite Calls for Resignation.

Greg Fergus, House Speaker, will remain in his position after the House voted to allow him to keep his role. This decision comes despite calls from the Conservatives and Bloc Québécois for his resignation, due to concerns over his impartiality. The controversy arose after Fergus recorded a video tribute to the outgoing interim leader of the Ontario Liberals at a party event in December. The House procedure and affairs committee recommended that Fergus stay on as Speaker, apologize, and repay Parliament for using its resources to create the video. The Conservatives' attempts to revisit the issue were voted down in the House of Commons.
