Candidacy for Speaker edit
On June 23, 2022, the day before the swearing-in of the new Ford Ministry, it was reported in the media that Tangri planned to run to be Speaker of the Legislature.[5] Parm Gill assumed her cabinet position the next day.
On August 8, 2022, MPPs re-elected incumbent speaker Ted Arnott by secret ballot, despite the Premier's tacit endorsement of Tangri.[6] This followed accusations from the Official Opposition that Government House Leader Paul Calandra "threatened to strip" the party of three presiding officer and various committee chair roles should they not support her.[7]
The Ontario NDP currently have one presiding officer position.[8]
