The House of Commons has voted to let Greg Fergus keep his job as Speaker, nearly two months after the Conservatives and Bloc Québécois called for him to resign.

Those calls came after Mr. Fergus was shown giving a video tribute to the outgoing interim leader of the Ontario Liberals at a party event in December.
