Andrew Scheer, 32, was elected as the speaker of Canada's House of Commons

 Andrew Scheer, 32, was elected as the speaker of Canada's Home of Commons on Thursday, becoming the youngest person ever to hold that post.

The Conservative member of parliament (MP) from Saskatchewan Province defeated seven other candidates following a six-round, day-long vote.

Scheer, a former deputy House speaker, was escorted to the speaker's chair by Prime Minister and Conservative Party Leader Stephen Harper and leader of the official opposition Jack Layton of the New Democratic Party (NDP).

"I will do my very best to live up to the trust that you've placed in me," Scheer told his colleagues right after the victory, whilst pledging to boost decorum within the House.

He said just before the voting that "toxic language" has too typically crept into their debates and Canadians are disappointed by their name-calling as well as other behaviors.

The speaker election was the very first order of enterprise Thursday, the very first day of the newly elected 308-seat lower parliamentary chamber that includes more than 100 first-time members, mostly from the NDP.

Under Canadian laws, the speaker of House acts as a nonpartisan parliament member and sacrifices the capacity to vote inside the House of Commons, except when a tie need to be broken.

Liberal MP Peter Milliken, Scheer's predecessor, was the longest-serving speaker, presiding over the home for 10 years until his retirement.

The job of speaker comes with some heavy responsibilities, but you can find some enviable perks that go along with it. He or she gets a vehicle and driver, an apartment on Parliament Hill's Centre Block, a lovely, 19th-century farmhouse in Gatineau Park, a sizeable spending budget for entertaining, and an annual salary worth about 233,000 Canadian dollars (239,000 U.S. dollars).

Having a speaker now elected, Canada's Governor General David Johnston will read the speech from the throne on Friday.

The home will begin its routine proceedings on Monday when Finance Minister Jim Flaherty will present the federal spending budget.

Harper's Conservative minority government was defeated on March 25 by the opposition parties in a no-confidence vote in the House, which found the government in contempt of the parliament.

The 40th parliament was dissolved the following day, and Canada's 41st federal election, the fourth within the past seven years, was held on Could 2 having a surprising result: the Conservative Party became majority with 166 seats, the NDP rose up to the official opposition party with 103 seats, the Green party won its very first seat, although the Liberal Party along with the Bloc Quebecois lost their seats from 77 to 34 and from 47 to 4 respectively.
