Members of Parliament have unanimously voted to launch an inquiry into the conduct of House of Commons Speaker Greg Fergus for a video message he recorded that was shown at a Liberal Party convention.

MPs voted Dec. 6 in favour of a motion from Conservative House leader Andrew Scheer to have the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs (PROC) determine if the Speaker violated Commons rules that require him to be impartial.
