Opposition push to oust Speaker for third time over Liberal post attacking Poilievre
OTTAWA — The Opposition Conservatives, backed by the Bloc Québécois, are calling for the House Speaker to resign over what they say is yet another display of partisan behaviour.
The accusation stems from a post on the Liberal party website promoting an event involving Speaker Greg Fergus.
The event details include a political attack on Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, saying his “reckless policies” would risk the health, safety and pocketbooks of Canadians.
Liberal party spokesman Parker Lund says the language was auto-populated, and is standard language for events posted on their website.
