Embattled Speaker Greg Fergus said he made a “serious mistake” filming a video for the Ontario Liberal convention, a move that spurred calls for his resignation from a role that’s meant to be impartial.
“I am deeply sorry. I want to reassure members that nothing like this will ever happen again,” he told the House of Commons Friday morning.
Fergus has been at the centre of controversy since the beginning of the month after filming a 105-second video — in his office, wearing his Speaker’s robes — paying tribute to John Fraser, the outgoing interim leader of the Ontario Liberal Party.
