Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you very much for being with us this morning, Mr. Fergus.
I'd like to talk to you about your role, your adjustment and the big learning curve facing you when you become Speaker of the House of Commons.
You left your seat as an MP and took up your duties as the Speaker from one day to the next. We understand perfectly well that you had some experience with the Standing Orders of the House, but tell me about that sharp learning curve. You had to put a team in place. You had to direct the entire team of clerks with whom you work directly. I imagine you had to field a lot of requests from all directions. And you made a video in the midst of it all.
Tell me about the learning curve that makes for a lot of work at the start of a Speaker's mandate. Tell me about your experience after two months in the chair.
