Speaker of the House of Commons to be chosen May 26th

At least six members of Parliament are asking their colleagues to support their bid to become the next Speaker of the House of Commons, including the last person to hold that job, Greg Fergus. Charlottetown Liberal MP Sean Casey has also been making his case to colleagues.  Many of those looking to become Speaker have spoke of the need to improve decorum and respect within the chamber.  Members of Parliament will vote on Monday morning to select the new Speaker.  King Charles will formally open the new Parliament Tuesday morning when he reads the government’s throne speech.
