    Remember that Greg Fergus has been in violation of the Ethics commission prior to becoming the speaker of the house. He has a history of being biased towards the opposition.

      He’s allowed to be biased against conservatives when he’s just an MP. But as the Speaker of the House, you cannot be partisan, it’s a scared role.

    That was the last straw , Fergus needs to resign .

      100% correct. Where is the explanation or investigation of the QP Hansard transcripts being altered as per Thomas ejection. Altering official transcript documents of the House of Parliment proceedings is against the law. Someone intentionally altered the transcripts as Thomas pointed out in her complaint? How is that investigation going Fergus?

In the old days, at school, if you said something offside in class, the teacher did not give you the chance to withdraw. You chose your words, and you are held accountable in that moment.
