A House of Commons committee has decided that Greg Fergus should stay in his job as Speaker, but he should apologize again, and reimburse Parliament for using its resources to make a video that was shown at a partisan event.

In a report released on Dec. 14, the procedure and House affairs committee also says there should be clear guidelines for future Speakers about the impartiality of their role.
