Liberal MP Greg Fergus has been elected the new Speaker of the House of Commons β€” and his first challenge will be to help Parliament turn the page on the embarrassing Yaroslav Hunka incident.

Fergus, who represents the Quebec riding of Hull-Aylmer near Ottawa, is the first Black Speaker of the Commons. He was picked by his colleagues through a secret ranked-ballot vote.

@disk4mat If only we could use ranked ballots in our federal elections

@disk4mat I know. I'm sure the NDP and Greens would support it and that gives the LPC a majority. Time to try again and this time with a whipped vote.
