Two egregious lies used by Christy,Mason, and the Globe to support the Fascist effort to weasel around in the gravy.

First under the law,  the speaker makes oath to serve the parliament until it is ended to the best of his ability. To make such an oath knowing he was going to resign in a week or two is a violation of law on such oaths and would be subject to criminal sanction if it could be proved. The right to resign is not absolute in law.

Secondly there is no authority which states that the speaker can't break tie votes on any matter. It is not in fact even partisan as the speaker commits in advance to side with the government on all tie votes regardless of the issue

Section 49 of Canada’s Constitution Act states: “Questions arising in the House of Commons shall be decided by a Majority of Voices other than that of the Speaker, and when the Voices are equal, but not otherwise, the Speaker shall have a Vote.” 

 Erskine May’s definitive 1844 parliamentary practice guide agrees.
