Gregory Cristophe Fergus PC MP (born May 31, 1969) is a Canadian politician who has served as the 38th and current speaker of the House of Commons since October 3, 2023.

After attending university and earning bachelor's degrees in social science and international relations, he worked for Liberal cabinet ministers Pierre Pettigrew and Jim Peterson.

[13] In February 2023, Fergus was found to have violated the Conflict of Interest Act by writing a letter of support for a television channel's application to the CRTC for mandatory carriage.

On December 14, 2023 Committee Chair Bardish Chagger presented a report supported by Liberal and NDP MPs calling on Fergus to "undertake the appropriate steps to reimburse a suitable amount for the use of parliamentary resources" and " issue another apology clearly stating that filming the video both in his office, and in his robes was inappropriate".

On April 30, 2024, Fergus ordered the official opposition leader, Pierre Poilievre, to leave the House of Commons for calling the Prime Minister a "wacko", and for insinuating that his policies had led to the deaths of thousands of Canadians.
