Charlottetown MP Casey looking to be next Speaker in House of Commons

Charlottetown M-P Sean Casey says he wants to be the next Parliamentary Speaker following the resignation of Anthony Rota earlier this week.
Casey said Thursday that there has never been a Speaker from PEI, and he hopes to make Islanders proud if his bid is successful in the October 3rd election.
The Speaker presides over debate and enforces the rules of the House of Commons.
Rota resigned after backlash to his office’s invitation to a Ukrainian Nazi veteran during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s address to Parliament on Friday.
