đŸ‘‰Canada's House of Commons achieved a historic milestone by electing Liberal MP Greg Fergus as the Speaker, marking the first time a Black Canadian has held this prestigious role. Fergus, who represents a Quebec riding near Ottawa, emerged victorious from a competitive field of seven candidates. In his acceptance speech, Fergus emphasized the importance of promoting respect and vowed to preside over the House with firmness, thoughtfulness, collaboration, consistency, and fairness. While some Conservatives opposed Fergus's candidacy, MPs voted via secret ranked ballots to appoint him to this significant position.✅ . . #CanadaParliament #BlackSpeaker #DiversityInPolitics #CanadianPolitics #HistoryMade #CanadianSpeaker #GregFergus #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
