Conservatives are again calling for House Speaker Greg Fergus to resign or be removed after discovering his participation at a Liberal Party event was being advertised with “partisan” language against Tory Leader Pierre Poilievre.

In a May 21 statement, Tory MP Chris Warkentin accused Mr. Fergus of engaging in “partisan activities” in relation to a Liberal Party event titled “Summer Evening with the Honourable Greg Fergus.”
