  • Fergus' ruling: The speaker ordered the House to interrupt the privilege debate and make way for the four opposition days that remain before Dec. 10.
  • The jargon: "The balance between the allotted days"
  • aka opposition days
  • "and the adoption of appropriations must be maintained and that as a result, the remaining supply days must take place."

The article from POLITICO's Ottawa Playbook discusses a surprise move by House of Commons Speaker Greg Fergus, who issued a statement on the Israel-Hamas conflict, urging for a ceasefire and the release of hostages, which was seen as a departure from the Speaker's traditional role of neutrality. This action has sparked controversy and debate about the role of the Speaker, with some MPs and political observers questioning whether Fergus overstepped his bounds. The piece also touches on the broader political implications of this statement, including reactions from various political parties, the ongoing tensions within Canadian politics regarding the Middle East conflict, and how this might affect Fergus's tenure as Speaker. Additionally, the newsletter covers other political news, including updates on the Liberal government's handling of economic issues and the Conservative Party's strategies ahead of potential elections.
