[1/4] Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau casts his vote during the election of a new Speaker in the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada October 3, 2023.
Former speaker Anthony Rota, a member of the governing Liberal party, resigned last week.
The members of the 338-seat House will then vote by secret ballot, ranking the candidates in order of preference.
The House speaker is meant to be an impartial arbitrator of parliamentary procedure, seeking to maintain order and decorum during debates.
Among the candidates are Liberal Greg Fergus, who if elected would be the first person of color to become speaker.
