Conservative MP argues event for Speaker of the House promoted with partisan language
An advertisement for an event organized for Liberal MP Greg Fergus, who also serves as Speaker of the House of Commons, has been removed from the Liberal Party’s website after a Conservative MP raised concerns about it.
“I recognize that any sitting Speaker who intends to seek re-election as an MP must also consider fundraising,” Mr. Warkentin said. “The Speaker’s office had discussed this event with the Clerk of the House of Commons, who raised no concerns, since this event is taking place in Mr. Fergus’s riding, which is permitted,” Mr. Gravel said.
