The Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada ((フランス語:Président de la Chambre des communes)) 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 most recent Speaker was Andrew Scheer. The Speaker with the longest tenure is Peter Milliken who served four consecutive parliaments in 10 years, 124 days. ==Purpose== In Canada it is the Speaker's responsibility to manage the House of Commons and supervise its staff. It is also the Speaker's duty to act as a liaison with the Senate and the Crown. He is to rule over the house and have the government answer questions during the question period as well as keep decorum with the house. The Speaker of the House of Commons receives a salary of about $230,000 CAD and has use of the official residence, The Farm, an estate located at Kingsmere in Gatineau Park, Quebec, across the river from Ottawa. The term "Speaker" originates from the British parliamentary tradition. The French term now used in Canada is ''Président'' (president, chairperson, or presiding officer); the term ''Orateur,'' a calque (literal translation) of "Speaker" and formerly the term used in France for the Speaker of the British House of Commons, was used until a few decades ago.〔http://www.parl.gc.ca/Infoparl/english/issue.htm?param=107&art=563〕 By convention, Speakers are normally addressed in Parliament as "Mister Speaker", for a male, and "Madame Speaker", for a female. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Speaker of the House of Commons (Canada)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
