House Speaker Greg Fergus Faces Renewed Calls for Resignation Over Partisan Ad, Third Incident
May 21, 2024, 06:19 PM
House Speaker Greg Fergus is facing renewed calls for resignation after using partisan language in an ad promoting a local event. The ad, which targeted Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, has sparked criticism from the Conservative Party and the Bloc Québécois. The event, titled 'A Summer Evening with the Honourable Greg Fergus,' is scheduled for June 4. The Liberal Party has apologized, stating the language was auto-populated and posted without Fergus's knowledge due to a miscommunication. Conservative deputy whip Chris Warkentin argued that this latest incident, along with previous blunders, are clear examples of why Fergus should resign. This incident marks the third time Fergus has been accused of partisan behavior, leading to increased pressure for his resignation as a neutral arbiter of House of Commons proceedings.
