    because the house will elect a liberal speaker and reduce the vote number one more

    Oh, is that not built-in to the 172 requirement? In Australia we always talk about a requirement of 76 seats to win an election, because 75 after the speaker is selected is able to have control of Parliament. I assumed the CBC and others were doing the same here.

    edit: actually, just ran the numbers. 343 seats total, minus one for speaker, halved is 171. Assuming Canadian speakers follow Speaker Denison’s Rule, exactly half isn’t enough, so you need 172. So it looks like it is built in.
