ITEM, At the Request of the Commons by their Petitions put forth in this Parliament, to eschew the Mischiefs and Damages done to divers of his Commons by false Accusers, which oftentimes have made their Accusations more for Revenge and singular Benefit, than for the Profit of the King, or of his People, which accused Persons, some have been taken, and [X2 sometime] caused to come before the Kings Council by Writ, and otherwise upon grievous Pain against the Law: It is assented and accorded, for the good Governance of the Commons, that no Man be put to answer without Presentment before Justices, or Matter of Record, or by due Process and Writ original, according to the old Law of the Land: And if any Thing from henceforth be done to the contrary, it shall be void in the Law, and holden for Error

"New Quebec legislative speaker elected amid furor

Last Updated: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 | 6:30 AM ET Comments7Recommend5

Parti Québécois member François Gendron has been elected speaker of Quebec's legislature under a cloud of controversy.

Premier Jean Charest ripped into opposition leaders for brokering Gendron's election to the prestigious post, accusing the PQ and Action Démocratique du Québec (ADQ) of conspiring in secret "backroom dealings."

Gendron, who represents Abitibi-Ouest, is the first member of the national assembly since 1878 to take over the speaker's position despite not being part of the governing party".

Speaker of the 46th General Assembly

Hon. Roger Fitzgerald, M.H.A. Bonavista South (2007- )


 

Role of the Speaker

The office of Speaker is almost as ancient as Parliament itself. It emerged in the Middle Ages when the Commons - the ordinary people - of England needed a spokesman in their dealings with the King, someone who would voice their grievances and present their petitions. This was by no means a safe or easy thing to do at that time, and potential spokesmen generally had to be pressured into accepting the responsibility. In those days the individual chosen spoke for the whole Commons to the King (hence the name "Speaker"), but today's Speaker takes no part in the debates. It is interesting to note that the first occupant of this quintessentially British office, whose name has come down to us from the thirteenth century, was a certain Peter de Montfort."

"On January 29, 2001, my colleagues in the House of Commons elected me to be their Speaker, the 34th person to hold the office in Canada. Having already served as a Member of Parliament for 13 years, I was honoured to be chosen for such an important and challenging role. In June 2004, I was re-elected Member for Kingston and the Islands, and on October 4th, acclaimed Speaker of the House of Commons. In February 2006, I had the honour of once again being re-elected as Member of Parliament and on April 3rd, 2006, I was chosen to be the Speaker for the 39th Parliament. In October 2008 I was once again re-elected as Member of Parliament and after five ballots was re-elected Speaker for the 40th Parliament."
