Greg Fergus becomes Canada's first black speaker
The Speaker's position became vacant following the departure of former Speaker Anthony Rota.
Greg Fergus of the Liberal Party has been elected as the first black Speaker of the Canadian Parliament.
This significant development comes after the seat of Speaker was left vacant following the resignation of former Speaker Anthony Rota.
The election of Greg Fergus as Canada's 38th Speaker took place through a secret ballot.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau extended his congratulations to the newly elected Speaker, marking this momentous occasion in the country's political history.
The vacancy in the Speaker's seat arose due to the resignation of Anthony Rota, who faced pressure and criticism for inviting a former Nazi unit soldier to Parliament and subsequently giving him a standing ovation.
