Liberal Ontario MP Anthony Rota speaks after being elected as Speaker of the House of Commons as Parliament prepares to resume for the first time since the election in Ottawa, on Dec. 5, 2019.Newly elected House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota urged MPs to set a positive and respectful tone as the 43rd Parliament began after a heated and divisive campaign that reduced the Liberal government to minority status.
In his acceptance speech, Mr. Rota fought back emotion as he noted it was the first time a Canadian of Italian descent was elected Speaker. His campaign pitch included a pledge to hold more small, informal gatherings of MPs from all parties as a way of easing some of the partisanship and name-calling that is commonplace in Ottawa, particularly during the daily Question Period.
In offering their congratulations to Mr. Rota, party leaders also had their first opportunity to address Parliament since the election.
