Speaker of the Canadian House of Commons

The Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada is the presiding officer of the lower house of the Parliament of Canada and is elected at the beginning of each new parliament by fellow Members of Parliament (MPs). The Speaker's role in presiding over Canada's House of Commons is similar to that of speakers elsewhere in other countries that use the Westminster system (see Speaker of the House of Commons). The current Speaker is Geoff Regan. The Speaker with the longest tenure is Peter Milliken who served four consecutive parliaments in 10 years, 124 days.
